Like You’ve Always Been (feat. Sparky Taylor)

Do you remember feeling hopeful

Like the world was open wide

We couldn't wait to travel it

For our turn on the ride

We drove all night to places

That our maps would scarcely show

And lifted up our voices

To the midnight radio

I still think about those moments

When the walls are closing in

And you are still beside me now

Like you've always been

Yeah, I recall when basement shows

Were like our second home

A brand-new world that somehow

Recreated all we'd known

And in the hum of summer

Underneath the streetlights' glow

We circled blocks and questions

In search of all we longed to know

My favorite time, long walks at night

Well after the shows end

And you are still beside me now

Like you've always been

A chorus of cicadas, they sang us home each night

Our secrets shared only in code, through blinking fireflies

I still hold onto that feeling, the way I felt back then

With you I knew I was enough, and that I'd always been

We used to look up to the stars

And wonder what made them shine

We couldn't see that what they had

Was also yours and mine

That we were everything together

And yet nothing at all

We were the brightest points of light

And so incredibly small

And in the rolling darkness

We will find our way again

And you are still beside me now

Like you've always been

And you are still beside me now

Like you've always been
