[Verse 1]

I never thanked you for the weight
For every road and every day
Through broken glass and winter rain
You took the hurt and stayed the same

You learned the shape of every floor
The cold tile by the kitchen door
The long way home, the stupid miles
The blisters hidden by my smile

[Pre-Chorus]

I kept looking up
Like strength lived somewhere in the sky
But all this time
It started where I learned to stand

[Chorus]

You are my sole mates
Every road, every ache
From the first unsteady step
To every chance I chose to take

You never needed praise
Never asked me to explain
Heel to toe, side by side
You carried me through everything

My sole mates

[Verse 2]

You’ve known the cruelty of new shoes
And every sock I somehow lose
You’ve met the corner of the bed
At three a.m. and lived through it

You’ve crossed hot sand and bathroom floors
Queued outside a thousand doors
And when I swore I’d walk no more
You somehow got me home once more

[Pre-Chorus]

I kept looking out
For something strong enough to trust
But every time
The ground gave way, you held me up

[Chorus]

You are my sole mates
Every road, every ache
From the first unsteady step
To every chance I chose to take

You never needed praise
Never asked me to explain
Heel to toe, side by side
You carried me through everything

My sole mates

[Bridge]

Maybe love is not a lightning strike
Maybe it is showing up
Every single day

No promises
No grand design
Just two old friends
At the end of my legs

And somehow
That has always been enough

So when the world says
MOVE!

I know exactly
who moves first

[Breakdown]

Heel to toe
through the weight

Heel to toe
through the pain

Every mile
every scar

You were there
you still are

CARRY ME HOME!

[Final Chorus]

You are my sole mates
Every road, every ache
From the first unsteady step
To every chance I chose to take

You never needed praise
Never asked me to explain
Heel to toe, side by side
You carried me through everything

You are my sole mates
When the road has had its say
When these knees have had enough
You still find another way

So here’s to every step
And every mark the years have made
Left and right, side by side
My sole mates to the grave

[Outro]

I should probably buy you better shoes.
