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
