[Intro] Yeah We been through it Still here, though Still us [Verse 1] First fight in the parking lot Threw words like bottles, both red-shot Slammed doors, said we’re done for good Five minutes later you were in my hood Riding in the back of your busted car Cursing at the world, yelling at the stars You hate when I ghost, I hate when you snap But you’re the one I call when my ribs feel cracked We talk like we’re fine then we blow up quick Say the meanest things we don’t even mean But when life swings first and it cuts too deep You’re the first damn person on my screen (yeah) [Chorus] You’re closer than blood, that vein-deep truth We break, then mend, but I won’t lose you We can scream all night, say we’ve had enough Next day side by side like it’s back to us Time after time, yeah, we fall off track But nothing in this world gonna break that pact We bruise, we heal, we fade, we snap But we always, always got each other’s back (hey!) [Verse 2] Remember when they jumped me behind that store? You came out swinging before I hit the floor Didn’t ask questions, didn’t need a why Just “who touched you?” with that wild-eyed fire You’ve seen me ugly, I’ve seen you worse You on the kitchen tile, cursing every word I held your head up, you held mine too When I thought about ending it, you pulled me through We say “I’m fine,” but we both see through Every cracked smile, every half-laughed truth Call me on my lies, I call you on yours But I’d die first ‘fore I leave you hurt (yeah) [Chorus] You’re closer than blood, that vein-deep truth We break, then mend, but I won’t lose you We can scream all night, say we’ve had enough Next day side by side like it’s back to us Time after time, yeah, we fall off track But nothing in this world gonna break that pact We bruise, we heal, we fade, we snap But we always, always got each other’s back [Bridge] If the sky falls If your world cracks You don’t even gotta ask I’m right there, right there If I go dark If I fall flat You’re the light in the panic, yeah, pulling me back (woah) [Chorus] You’re closer than blood, that vein-deep truth We break, then mend, but I won’t lose you We can scream all night, say we’ve had enough Next day side by side like it’s back to us Time after time, yeah, we fall off track But nothing in this world gonna break that pact We bruise, we heal, we fade, we snap But we always, always got each other’s back [Outro] Closer than blood Closer than fate We might both change But this won’t change (nah) Closer than blood That’s just fact ‘Cause we always, always got each other’s back
