[Verse 1]
Sean, I remember the weight you carried in
The kind that never showed beneath your skin
You chose the hard road, one day at a time
And I watched you pull your life back into line
I’m still wrestling with the glass in my hand
Still making peace with who I am
Different battles, different scars
Still the same blood beneath these hearts
[Pre-Chorus]
We don’t need the same road
To know where we belong
Distance can stretch the hours
But it can’t undo this bond
[Chorus]
You’re more than a friend, you’re family
No matter where this life keeps dragging me
You found your way, I’m finding mine
But your name is stitched into this life
We may not get the time we want
We may go months with nothing said
But when the world comes crashing down
I know you’ll be there, and I’ll be there
[Verse 2]
There are empty chairs and missed calls piling up
Plans we meant to make, but never caught up
Still I hear your voice in the middle of the noise
Reminding me I’m more than every broken choice
You put the bottle down and faced the fire
I’m still caught inside my own wire
I won’t pretend we’re standing in the same place
I’ll never love you less for needing space
[Pre-Chorus]
We don’t need the same road
To know where we belong
Distance can stretch the hours
But it can’t undo this bond
[Chorus]
You’re more than a friend, you’re family
No matter where this life keeps dragging me
You found your way, I’m finding mine
But your name is stitched into this life
We may not get the time we want
We may go months with nothing said
But when the world comes crashing down
I know you’ll be there, and I’ll be there
[Breakdown]
Different storms!
Same shelter!
Different wounds!
Still together!
Sean, if the years keep pulling us apart
You’ll never lose your place inside my heart
No perfect words, no crowded room
Could make this family disappear too soon
[Bridge]
I won’t ask you to become like me
You never asked me who to be
The love survives the space between
The person that I was and who you’ve been
[Final Chorus]
You’re more than a friend, you’re family
No matter where this life keeps dragging me
You found your way, I’m finding mine
But your name is stitched into this life
We may not get the time we want
We may go months with nothing said
But when the world comes crashing down
I know you’ll be there, and I’ll be there
[Outro]
More than friends
More than blood
When the distance rises up
I’ll be there
You’ll be there
That is family
That is us
