Lyrics

[Intro]

[clean guitar, distant slide bends]

Two lanes

Same town

Same hurt

Spun ‘round

[Verse 1]

[male vocal]

I woke up on a mattress on a stranger’s floor

Shaking from the poison that I begged for more

Mama said “I love you” then she locked that door

Said “Come back as my kid, not this civil war”

Phone full of dealers, I deleted each name

Still kept one number, still kept one flame

Sweat through my shirt while I sat in that chair

Circle full of ghosts saying, “Yeah, we been there”

I’m counting days like loose change, clinking in a jar

Every craving like a freight train, rattling my heart

I ain’t a lost cause, I’m a long shot bet

But I’m running every lap till the sun sets

[Chorus]

[full band kicks in]

We’re on both sides of the street

Same pain, different beat

I’m the one trying not to fall

You’re the one holding up the wall

If I break, you bleed

If I heal, you breathe

From the bottle to the backseat prayer

We’re both crawling out of there

[Verse 2]

[female vocal]

I’m the one on the sidewalk, watching you fade

Counting every promise that you never quite paid

I learned every rehab name like they were old friends

Kissing you hello, then goodbye again

I hid the cash, hid the keys, hid the fear in my chest

Smiling at your mama saying, “He’s doing his best”

But at night I’m wide awake, staring holes in the dark

Listening for your tires, praying they don’t park

I’m angry and I love you, both in one breath

I’m tired of rehearsing how to talk to death

But I see that tremor when you try to be clean

That tiny little flicker like a porch light beam

[Pre-Chorus]

[female & male call-and-response]

You say “I’m fine” (I’m not fine at all)

You say “Don’t cry” (I’m bracing for the fall)

You say “I’ll change” (I’m begging that you do)

Two cracked hearts

One truth

[Chorus]

[band heavier, layered vocals]

We’re on both sides of the street

Same pain, different beat

I’m the one trying not to fall

You’re the one holding up the wall

If I break, you bleed

If I heal, you breathe

From the bottle to the backseat prayer

We’re both crawling out of there

[Bridge]

[half-time, chugging guitars; male & female]

[male]

I see your face in every shaking hand

You’re the reason that I drew this line in the sand

[female]

I see your hope in every honest tear

You’re the reason that I’m still standing here

[male]

If I walk this line, will you walk it with me?

[female]

If you climb that hill, I’ll be there when you’re free

[together]

Same sun, same heat

Same road

Same street

[Chorus]

[final, biggest hit, gang shouts]

We’re on both sides of the street

Same pain, different beat

I’m the one learning how to stand

You’re the one holding out your hand

If I break, you bleed

If I heal, you breathe

From the gutter to the front porch light

We’re both walking into night

[Outro]

[band drops to clean guitar, soft slide]

Two lanes

One town

Two hearts

Turn ‘round
