Uplift

We were just two kids in hand-me-down shoes
Racing our bikes down the avenue
Laughed so hard when the world felt new
You took the blame when I broke the rules
Shared a room, fought for the top bunk
Kept each other's secrets, hid our flunks
Sometimes we'd shout and say things we didn't mean
But you always looked out for me

It's funny how things change
We're older, but it feels the same
No matter how far we roam
You're closer than my home

You've got my back and I've got yours
Whatever comes, we'll weather the storms
No drifting apart, we're side by side
You've got my back, I've got yours (I've got yours)

Remember the night you called me late
Heart in your throat, talking 'bout mistakes
I dropped it all, just to be there fast
Life gets tough, but brothers always last
I see your smile when I need some hope
You check in when I'm feeling alone
It's not about pride, it's not about score
You've shown me love I can't ignore

It's funny how things change
We're older, but it feels the same
No matter how far we roam
You're closer than my home

You've got my back and I've got yours
Whatever comes, we'll weather the storms
No drifting apart, we're side by side
You've got my back, I've got yours (I've got yours)

Years may fly, the world may spin
Still, I know where you've been
Through every loss and every win
Brother, you're my closest kin

You've got my back and I've got yours
Whatever comes, we'll weather the storms
No drifting apart, we're side by side
You've got my back, I've got yours (I've got yours)

[Verse 1]
We were just two kids in hand-me-down shoes
Racing our bikes down the avenue
Laughed so hard when the world felt new
You took the blame when I broke the rules
Shared a room, fought for the top bunk
Kept each other's secrets, hid our flunks
Sometimes we'd shout and say things we didn't mean
But you always looked out for me
[Pre-chorus]
It's funny how things change
We're older, but it feels the same
No matter how far we roam
You're closer than my home
[Chorus]
You've got my back and I've got yours
Whatever comes, we'll weather the storms
No drifting apart, we're side by side
You've got my back, I've got yours (I've got yours)
[Verse 2]
Remember the night you called me late
Heart in your throat, talking 'bout mistakes
I dropped it all, just to be there fast
Life gets tough, but brothers always last
I see your smile when I need some hope
You check in when I'm feeling alone
It's not about pride, it's not about score
You've shown me love I can't ignore
[Pre-chorus]
It's funny how things change
We're older, but it feels the same
No matter how far we roam
You're closer than my home
[Chorus]
You've got my back and I've got yours
Whatever comes, we'll weather the storms
No drifting apart, we're side by side
You've got my back, I've got yours (I've got yours)
[Bridge]
Years may fly, the world may spin
Still, I know where you've been
Through every loss and every win
Brother, you're my closest kin
[Chorus]
You've got my back and I've got yours
Whatever comes, we'll weather the storms
No drifting apart, we're side by side
You've got my back, I've got yours (I've got yours)
