February Kids

[Verse 1]
We were February kids, six days apart,
Same winter sky, same stubborn hearts.
Nobody knows what we carried back then,
Just two little kids trying to make sense.

You tied my shoes when I couldn't get it right,
Ran beside my bike till I learned to ride.
Every dark hallway, every broken home,
You made sure your little sister wasn't alone.

You took the punches life threw at us both,
Made me laugh when there wasn't much hope.
People say time heals everything...
But

[Pre-Chorus]
Some things don't fade
They just stay
In the bones
Where we were made

[Chorus]
February kids, hold on
February kids, hold on
You were my first safe place
You were my last good song

February kids, hold on
February kids, hold on
If the whole world turned cold
You stayed warm in my palms

[Verse 2]
We got older, learned how to look away,
Packed our hurt in the clothes we wear today.
You still call when my world falls down,
Still know my silence by the sound.

Now I see your face in my younger days,
Every scar, every laugh, every crooked phase.
What we lost never left the room,
It just sits there quiet, waiting for you.

[Pre-Chorus]
Some things don't fade
They just stay
In the blood
And in the name

[Chorus]
February kids, hold on
February kids, hold on
You were my first safe place
You were my last good song

February kids, hold on
February kids, hold on
If the whole world turned cold
You stayed warm in my palms

[Bridge]
If I slip, you pull me back
If you break, I know the cracks
Same old hurt, same old scars
Still I know exactly who we are

[Chorus]
February kids, hold on
February kids, hold on
You were my first safe place
You were my last good song

February kids, hold on
February kids, hold on
If the whole world turned cold
You stayed warm in my palms
