Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Three beds in one small room

Hand‑me‑down shoes by the door

You took my cap

I took your spoon

We never kept score

Same scraped knees

Same summer dust

Same late bus we always missed

Swore the three of us

Would always be like this

[Chorus]

Now there’s one empty chair at the table

One voice missing from the fight

We were three on the roof

Unshakable

Now I’m talking to the ceiling at night

You were out there taking punches in the dark

Calling it your war to win

Brother

I would’ve carried half your heart

If you’d just let me in

[Verse 2]

You left home with a plastic bag

And that laugh you wore like armor

Said

“Don’t wait up

I’ll be back”

But each year it got harder

We heard stories

Scraps of news

You were sleeping where the city never rests

Thought your storms were just a phase

Didn’t see the weight inside your chest

[Chorus]

Now there’s one empty chair at the table

One plate no one dares to touch

We were three chasing trains

Unbreakable

How did distance grow this much?

You were out there taking punches in the dark

Calling it your war to win

Brother

I would’ve carried half your heart

If you’d just let me in

[Bridge]

I keep your jacket on the back porch nail

Still smells like smoke and rain

I talk to it like you can hear me

(you hear me, right?)

I say your name

I say your name

[Chorus]

There’s one empty chair at the table

But you’re here in every fight

We were three

And in my memories we’re able

To stay barefoot in that porch light

You were out there taking punches in the dark

Too proud to lean on kin

Brother

I’ll be holding up your part

Till I see you again
