[Verse 1] [Male] I came in spinning, pockets full of noise, knocked over the morning, just to hear my own voice; you sat by the doorway. [Female] Slow blink, steady frame, tail like a banner, you never said my name. [Pre-Chorus] [Male] And I was all sparks, you were all breath, I was one wrong move, From talking myself to death. But you looked at me, like I could land, Like a shaking little monster, still fits in your hand. [Chorus] [Male] Little sister, stay near. [Female] (Big brother, stay near) [Male] I run wild, you stay clear (You bring me back here). [Male] Little sister, stay near. [Female] (Big brother, stay near). [Male] I go high, you go slow. [Female] We keep each other home. [Verse 2] [Male] I stash cracked acorns, in the seat of my coat, You patch up the silence, with a steady throat. [Female] I bark at the thunder, you wait through the rain. [Male] I climb every fence line, you call me by name. [Pre-Chorus] [Male] And I was all teeth, you were all calm, I was one hot minute, you were the answer in my palm. When the dark got loud, and I lost my track, You stood in the doorway, and pulled the whole world back. [Chorus] [Male] Little sister, stay near. [Female] (Big brother, stay near). [Male] I run wild, you stay clear (You bring me back here). [Male] Little sister, stay near. [Female] (Big brother, stay near). [Male] I go high, you go slow. [Female] We keep each other home. [Bridge] [Male] When my hands shake, you don't flinch. [Female] When your heart sinks, I don't leave. [Male] I can be the storm you shelter. [Female] You can be the woods I breathe. [Break] [Female Secondary Vocals] Easy now, Easy now. [Male Primary Vocals] I’m here, I’m here. [Final Chorus] [Male] Little sister, stay near. [Female] (Big brother, stay near). [Male] I run wild, you stay clear (You bring me back here). [Male] Little sister, stay near. [Female] (Big brother, stay near). [Male] I go high, you go slow. [Female] We keep each other home. [Outro] [Male] You guard the den, I guard the flame. [Female] Two different names, one shared heart.
