[Verse 1]
You called me "kid" the first day
War paint on your grin
I rolled my eyes
Said "Master"
You let the chaos in
Running through the hangar
Boots loud on the floor
You walked too fast on purpose
So I'd chase you through the roar
[Chorus]
Snips and Skyguy
Laughing in the crossfire
Jokes over comlinks
Dust in our hair
You taught me how to jump before I learned to land
Said
"When you’re scared
Swing anyway
I’m there"
We were bright
We were burning
On the edge of a storm we didn’t see
Snips and Skyguy
Turning
Into someone you could never be
[Verse 2]
You paced outside the council
Fist pressed to the wall
I saw the crack before the fall
When they chose pride over us all
You said
"You’re making a mistake"
As I walked away alone
I left my beads on the staircase
But I still heard you on the clone comms
[Chorus]
Snips and Skyguy
Laughing in the crossfire
Now it’s echoes in a shattered hall
You taught me how to jump before I learned to land
But who caught you when you started to fall?
We were bright
We were burning
Thought the stars would bend for you and me
Snips and Skyguy
Learning
That trust can break like glass in gravity
[Bridge]
I felt the sky go quiet
Like a saber pulled from light
Your presence turned to static
Cold metal on the other side
Years like hyperspace
Stretching blue and thin
Until I faced that broken mask
And saw your eyes still in there (oh)
[Chorus]
Snips and Skyguy
Ghosts inside the crossfire
Ash on our armor
Names in the dust
You taught me how to jump
Now I have to let you go
I will remember when you were someone I could trust
We were bright
We were burning
A wildfire they never understood
Snips and Skyguy
Turning
Dark and light into something still half-good
