[Verse 1] (Female) You were all wrong for me That’s what the village used to say I was sharpened steel and stone You were storms that looked away (Male) You were every battle cry I was every crazy plan You would roll your eyes at me Still you always took my hand [Chorus] (Both) Guess we were skybound hearts Tethered from the start Falling through the dark till we learned to steer You were my wild I was your calm We fit like armor on a palm Two stubborn souls that only feel at home up here Destined like a legend no one else can hear [Verse 2] (Female) You would trip on every step But never hesitated once Talking peace in halls of war Teaching cowards how to trust (Male) You could knock me to my knees With one look and half a smile Called me out when I lost faith Stood beside me every trial [Pre-Chorus] (Female) Everyone said “pick the safer road” (Male) But you climbed right on when my courage broke (Both) Hands on the reins of the great unknown [Chorus] (Both) ’Cause we’re skybound hearts Tethered from the start Falling through the dark till we learned to steer You were my fire I was your song Somehow we’ve been right all along Two stubborn souls that only feel at home up here Destined like a legend no one else can hear [Bridge] [Soft instrumental swell Wordless “oh-oh” harmonies] (Male) If the whole world splits in two I’m still choosing you (hey) (Female) If they write us in the tales Let them tell the truth (Both) We were scared We were brave We were foolish We were saved By a love that only grew when we were afraid [Chorus] (Both) We’re skybound hearts Tethered from the start Falling through the dark and we’re still right here You are my fiercest I am your shield Side by side in every field Two stubborn souls that only feel at home up here Destined like a legend only we can hear [Outro] (Female, soft) You were all wrong for me (Male, overlapping) You were everything I need (Both, whisper-sung) Skybound hearts We were always meant to be
