Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We built a castle out of old cardboard boxes
Just past the alley where the wild ivy grows
Scraped knees and secrets told in whispered tones
Barefoot summers when the river was home
You had a map drawn on a torn notebook page
I had a pocket full of smooth river stones
We didn't know the rules or heed any warnings
Just two kids racing the morning sun
[Chorus]
And the years roll by like wheels on a highway
Seasons change the color of the trees
The world gets big and the nights get colder
But you're still the echo of who I used to be
Yeah, the miles stretch out between where we started
And the road we're walking now
Still I carry your heart in my pocket
Some things don't ever change somehow
[Verse 2]
Remember the night we stayed up on the rooftop
Counting the satellites we swore we could reach
Talking about the lives we were gonna build
Out past the border of this sleepy town
We grew up fast and we made our mistakes
Drove different roads when the forks in the highway came
Took different jobs, learned to bend, learned to break
Still never lost each other's names
[Chorus]
And the years roll by like wheels on a highway
Seasons change the color of the trees
The world gets big and the nights get colder
But you're still the echo of who I used to be
Yeah, the miles stretch out between where we started
And the road we're walking now
Still I carry your heart in my pocket
Some things don't ever change somehow
[Bridge]
Now we sit across a table with the old photographs
Laughing till we cry at the things we used to do
We got lines by our eyes and dreams in our rearview
If the world takes everything else away
I know one thing that is always true
You were the sister I got to choose
[Chorus]
And the years roll by like wheels on a highway
Seasons change the color of the trees
The world gets big and the nights get colder
But you're still the echo of who I used to be
Yeah, the miles stretch out between where we started
And the road we're walking now
Still I carry your heart in my pocket
Some things don't ever change somehow
[Outro]
Some things don't ever change
Still here, still you and me
Through every turn of the page
Like those river stones in our pockets
Forever
[Fade Out]
