[Verse 1]
Met you on a bus
Blue seats, rainy glass
You laughed like you knew
I’d end up staying fast
College to the curb
Sleepovers on the floor
Empty cans and bad jokes
Still you asked for more
[Pre-Chorus]
When the room got heavy
You held the whole thing still
You said, “I’m here, I’m here”
And somehow I knew you will
[Chorus]
Ellie Finn, Ellie Finn
You pull me back again
Ellie Finn, Ellie Finn
Best friend through the bend
(Oh-oh, Ellie Finn)
You listen, you stay
(Oh-oh, Ellie Finn)
You don’t drift away
[Verse 2]
Animals at your place
Dog hair on the couch
We got loud, got reckless
Then you’d calm me down
Getting drunk, talking truth
Laughing till it hurt
You made the hard nights smaller
Made them less of a blur
[Pre-Chorus]
When my hands were shaking
You knew just what to do
No speech, no big rescue
Just a light from you
[Chorus]
Ellie Finn, Ellie Finn
You pull me back again
Ellie Finn, Ellie Finn
Best friend through the bend
(Oh-oh, Ellie Finn)
You listen, you stay
(Oh-oh, Ellie Finn)
You don’t drift away
[Bridge]
If I lose my way
You’re the map I keep
If the world goes cold
You’re the one I need
Not forever, not perfect
Just real and right
Same old bus stop
Same old night
[Final Chorus]
Ellie Finn, Ellie Finn
You pull me back again
Ellie Finn, Ellie Finn
Best friend through the bend
(Oh-oh, Ellie Finn)
You listen, you stay
(Oh-oh, Ellie Finn)
You don’t drift away
Ellie Finn, Ellie Finn
I’m still here in your name
Ellie Finn, Ellie Finn
Nothing’s ever the same
(Oh-oh, Ellie Finn)
Through the mess, through the years
(Oh-oh, Ellie Finn)
I’m keeping you near
