[Intro]
Yeah
We been through it
Still here, though
Still us
[Verse 1]
First fight in the parking lot
Threw words like bottles, both red-shot
Slammed doors, said we’re done for good
Five minutes later you were in my hood
Riding in the back of your busted car
Cursing at the world, yelling at the stars
You hate when I ghost, I hate when you snap
But you’re the one I call when my ribs feel cracked
We talk like we’re fine then we blow up quick
Say the meanest things we don’t even mean
But when life swings first and it cuts too deep
You’re the first damn person on my screen (yeah)
[Chorus]
You’re closer than blood, that vein-deep truth
We break, then mend, but I won’t lose you
We can scream all night, say we’ve had enough
Next day side by side like it’s back to us
Time after time, yeah, we fall off track
But nothing in this world gonna break that pact
We bruise, we heal, we fade, we snap
But we always, always got each other’s back (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Remember when they jumped me behind that store?
You came out swinging before I hit the floor
Didn’t ask questions, didn’t need a why
Just “who touched you?” with that wild-eyed fire
You’ve seen me ugly, I’ve seen you worse
You on the kitchen tile, cursing every word
I held your head up, you held mine too
When I thought about ending it, you pulled me through
We say “I’m fine,” but we both see through
Every cracked smile, every half-laughed truth
Call me on my lies, I call you on yours
But I’d die first ‘fore I leave you hurt (yeah)
[Chorus]
You’re closer than blood, that vein-deep truth
We break, then mend, but I won’t lose you
We can scream all night, say we’ve had enough
Next day side by side like it’s back to us
Time after time, yeah, we fall off track
But nothing in this world gonna break that pact
We bruise, we heal, we fade, we snap
But we always, always got each other’s back
[Bridge]
If the sky falls
If your world cracks
You don’t even gotta ask
I’m right there, right there
If I go dark
If I fall flat
You’re the light in the panic, yeah, pulling me back (woah)
[Chorus]
You’re closer than blood, that vein-deep truth
We break, then mend, but I won’t lose you
We can scream all night, say we’ve had enough
Next day side by side like it’s back to us
Time after time, yeah, we fall off track
But nothing in this world gonna break that pact
We bruise, we heal, we fade, we snap
But we always, always got each other’s back
[Outro]
Closer than blood
Closer than fate
We might both change
But this won’t change (nah)
Closer than blood
That’s just fact
‘Cause we always, always got each other’s back
