Beside You, Cody

Lyrics

Dust on our boots from that KC to California drive, Two suitcases and a dream keeping us alive. Remember that duplex? Heat broke in the snow, Watching you work—knowing even then, this build would last. We’d scrape by, but we’d never give up. (Pre-Chorus) Oh, we’d break, then we’d bend, Like willows in wind— Every scar just a map Of where love’s been. (Chorus) So I’ll walk beside you, Cody, never behind, Hand in calloused hand, leaving the past far behind. Through every high, every low, every “almost” goodbye— This love’s not just strong now… it’s unbreakable, untied. You’re the void I feel when you’re gone, The calm in my storm, the only one Who’s ever made me feel… home. And this time? We got it. This time, we’re forever. (Pre-Chorus) Yeah, we lost, then we found, Like coins in the sand— Every grain a reminder Of where we began. (Chorus) So I’ll walk beside you, Cody, never behind, Hand in calloused hand, leaving the past far behind. Through every high, every low, every “almost” goodbye— This love’s not just strong now… it’s unbreakable, untied. You’re the void I feel when you’re gone, The calm in my storm, the only one Who’s ever made me feel… home. And this time? We got it. This time, we’re forever. (Bridge) They say “forever’s a fairy tale,” But baby, look at our hands— Calloused from work, Tangled like roots in the Promised Land. No diamond ring needed to prove what we know: Your love’s the only language my soul speaks. And when we’re old on that porch swing, slow… I’ll still trace your scar where the wrench slipped, you know? (Chorus - Big & Hopeful) So I’ll walk beside you, Cody, never behind— Two shadows as one where the California sun Painting gold on our “we made it” signs. Through every high, every low, every “almost” goodbye— This love’s not just strong now… it’s unbreakable, untied. You’re the void I feel when you’re gone, The calm in my storm, the only one Who’s ever made me feel… home. And this time? We got it. This time, we’re forever. (Outro - Soft, fading) Forever… just you and me… Walking beside… Always beside… Cody…
