[Verse 1] We were kids with no map Just a dare in our hands Bare feet on the gravel Making castles in the sand You looked at me like truth Before we knew the word Somehow we said forever Before forever hurt [Pre-Chorus] Now the years are in the mirror And I see it clear What I was when you found me Was half of me, dear If one of us goes first Let the sky take note I don’t know how to breathe With that love choked in my throat [Chorus] You are my true love You are my best friend If you go before me I hope I go then I can’t do this life With your hand out of mine We started as kids And we still do, every time [Verse 2] You still know my silence Like a song you’ve heard for years You can pull me through the dark With just one look and tears We built this life from nothing From scraped knees and bad plans But every broken answer Made more room for our hands [Pre-Chorus] Now the years are in the mirror And I see it clear What I was when you found me Was half of me, dear If one of us goes first Let the sky take note I don’t know how to breathe With that love choked in my throat [Chorus] You are my true love You are my best friend If you go before me I hope I go then I can’t do this life With your hand out of mine We started as kids And we still do, every time [Bridge] And if the day comes quiet And your side of the bed is cold I’ll carry every mile We ever turned to gold But if I’m the one you lose Don’t let the hard years win Lay me down beside your name And let our story begin [Chorus] You are my true love You are my best friend If you go before me I hope I go then I can’t do this life With your hand out of mine We started as kids And we still do, every time
