Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You were there
When the lunchbox felt too heavy
Always by the door
When I dragged home all my worries
Mud on your paws
Cartoons humming in the background
You learned my name
Before I ever learned myself
[Chorus]
You were my shadow
My secret twin
Every laugh
Every loss
You were all in
We grew up side by side
Now I reach for you and find the sky
Oh
I still talk like you can hear
My childhood heart is waiting at the gate
You were my shadow
My favorite part of home
And I miss you
More than I can say
[Verse 2]
You knew first
When the world felt kind of broken
Nose under my hand
Like
“hey
We don’t have to go there”
Birthday hats
You sat proud in the pictures
You never left
You just followed me to sleep
[Chorus]
You were my shadow
My secret twin
Every laugh
Every loss
You were all in
We grew up side by side
Now I reach for you and find the sky
Oh
I still talk like you can hear
My childhood heart is waiting at the gate
You were my shadow
My favorite part of home
And I miss you
More than I can say
[Bridge]
Sometimes I swear I hear
Your nails on the hallway floor (oh)
Sometimes I dream I open
That old screen door
And there you are
Head tilt
Hopeful eyes
Like you never had to say goodbye
[Chorus]
You were my shadow
My secret twin
Every laugh
Every loss
You were all in
We grew up side by side
Now I reach for you and find the sky
Oh
I still talk like you can hear
My childhood heart is waiting at the gate
You were my shadow
My forever kind of friend
And I miss you
Till we run again
