[Verse 1] [Female Lead, Bright Clean Voice] You found me by the save-screen glow, With a borrowed name and nowhere to go. Eight years between our scuffed-up shoes, But somehow I’d already found you. [Verse 2] [Female Co-vocals, Dark Gritty Voice] I had a cracked amp, a stubborn mouth, A past I never quite worked out. You sang the parts I couldn’t say, I played the chords that kept them away. [Pre-Chorus] [Female Lead, Clean] When the room got small, you made a door. [Female Co-vocals, Gritty] When I hit the floor, you hit restart once more. [Chorus] [Female Duet Harmony, Anthemic] Not by blood, but by the fights we survived. Side by side, keeping each other alive. You take the high road, I take the hard line. Two damaged hearts making one good life... Through the bad days, through the long nights. Pick up the controller, turn the old amp bright. If the world comes crashing through... I’ve got you, you’ve got me too. [Verse 3] [Female Lead, Bright Clean Voice] You laugh when I miss the final boss, I sing too loud when the team gets lost. Your fingers find that old riff, And for a little while, nothing hurts like this. [Verse 4] [Female Co-vocals, Dark Gritty Voice] You keep the peace, I guard the door, We know what both our pasts were for. Not chains, not scars we have to hide, Just proof we made it to this side. [Pre-Chorus] [Female Lead, Clean] When your hands shake, I count to four. [Female Co-vocals, Gritty] When your voice breaks, I’m right beside the chord. [Chorus] [Female Duet Harmony, Anthemic] Not by blood, but by the fights we survived. Side by side, keeping each other alive. You take the high road, I take the hard line. Two damaged hearts making one good life... Through the bad days, through the long nights. Pick up the controller, turn the old amp bright. If the world comes crashing through... I’ve got you, you’ve got me too. [Bridge] [Female Lead, Clean] I never needed matching names. [Female Co-vocals, Gritty] I never needed an easy way. [Female Duet Harmony] We wrote our promise in the noise, Two different years, one steady voice. And if tomorrow pulls us far apart, You’ll still be level one inside my heart. [Chorus] [Female Duet Harmony, Harmonized Hooks] Not by blood, but by the fights we survived. Side by side, keeping each other alive. You take the high road, I take the hard line. Two damaged hearts making one good life... Through the bad days, through the long nights. Pick up the controller, turn the old amp bright. Let the whole world crash on through... I’ve got you, you’ve got me too. [Outro] [Female Duet, Call and Response] You’ve got me too. I’ve got you. Not by blood, Still my sister. [Fade Out] [End]
