Verse 1
I was twenty, fresh off a small town dream
Nashville lights and a tired routine
Counting tips, counting hours, counting days
Just trying to earn my own escape
Didn’t notice you much at first
Different shifts, different worlds
But somehow the nights lined up
And that’s where the real story was
Pre-Chorus
You took the front, I took the back
Funny how we never had to ask
It only worked one way, we knew
You see the whole, I see it through
Chorus
We were closing down the restaurant
Closing down our old lives too
In a dive bar with the jukebox on
Learning how to tell the truth
If soul sisters really exist
Then you’re the proof
Everybody should be so lucky
To have a friend like you
Verse 2
Darts on the wall, you always won
I just laughed and threw for fun
Cheap beer, late-night fries
Talking ‘bout love like we were wise
We loved men who took what we gave
Left us praying they’d stay
Broken hearts, same old songs
Still somehow we kept going on
Pre-Chorus 2
Preacher’s daughters, both of us
Lost our way, then found some trust
Not the kind they taught us back then
But the kind you feel in your chest, amen
Chorus
We were closing down the restaurant
But opening up our scars
Singing along to someone else’s pain
Like it was ours
If I ever doubted grace
I’d just look at you
Everybody should be so lucky
To have a friend like you
Bridge
Now you’re holding everyone else together
While I’m learning how to breathe
You’ve sat with me in my darkest weather
When I couldn’t even sit with me
You listen for a living, but you never forget
I’m more than what my mind says
When the storm comes back around
You’re still my solid ground
Soft Drop (almost spoken)
Some people save your life
Without ever making a sound
Final Chorus (bigger, warmer)
We’re not closing anything now
We’re just still here, still true
Through the marriages, the goodbyes
And the years we barely knew what to do
If I leave this world with one real miracle
It’s you
Everybody should be so lucky
To have a friend like you
Outro
Yeah, everybody should be so lucky…
To have a Brooke in their life too
