We never thought we'd reach the end, How something strong could slowly bend. Now all we have are memories, Echoes of what used to be. We can't go back to yesterday, The words we lost, the things we’d say. But I’ll hold you close inside my soul, Even when I let you go. We met back when we were kids in the same daycare line, Two restless little rebels, both just nine. By ten we sealed it deep, yeah we swore in blood, Thought we ran the block, thought we understood. We laughed at the world like we had it mapped, Smarter than the whole damn neighborhood trapped. At home my stepdad drank away the nights, So bottles and bad ideas were part of our rites. Curiosity was all we ever needed, No fear of the warnings we constantly cheated. Teachers told my mom I was lost, out of hand, A problem child drifting like unclaimed land. We skipped every class, never cared for the bell, Didn’t think about heaven, didn’t fear any hell. At twelve we were crazy ‘bout a screen queen’s fame, Would’ve given our lives just to shout her name. We never thought we'd reach the end, How something strong could slowly bend. Now all we have are memories, Echoes of what used to be. We can't go back to yesterday, The words we lost, the things we’d say. But I’ll hold you close inside my soul, Even when I let you go. We rolled with the loud ones, the broke and the proud, Unemployed philosophers talking tough and loud. “Watch who you’re with,” my mother would say, “Or your future might vanish quicker than today.” We didn’t listen — we wanted the thrill, How smoke with a twist made your head stand still. How to move in the dark, how to break without sound, How to take what we couldn’t when no one’s around. It was normal to crave what we weren’t allowed, So turning thirteen didn’t make us proud. Just two young wolves with a spark in the dark, Concrete playgrounds were our theme park. Through thick and thin, yeah side by side, Two half-grown kings with too much pride. We never thought we'd reach the end, How something strong could slowly bend. Now all we have are memories, Echoes of what used to be. We can't go back to yesterday, The words we lost, the things we’d say. But I’ll hold you close inside my soul, Even when I let you go.
