Where We Learned Our Names

[Verse 1] Cracked sidewalks, summer heat Barefoot races down our street Every corner knew our fears Every laugh still ringing here Old café on Second and Main Same old jukebox, different pain We were broke but felt so tall Thought this town could hold us all [Pre-Chorus] We didn’t have much, but we had time Shared our dreams under broken signs Every voice, every shade Built the place that made us brave [Chorus] This is where we learned our names Where different hearts beat the same City lights may pull us far But this town still knows who we are Brick by brick, hand in hand We were stronger when we stood as one From every street, every flame This hometown raised us the same [Verse 2] Neon nights and crowded trains Lonely faces chasing names So many people, worlds apart Still searching for a common start In the noise, I miss the sound Of neighbors gathering around Different stories, different views But we all wore the same old shoes [Pre-Chorus] City taught me how to run Home taught me we’re not alone Even divided, side by side There’s power when we choose to try [Chorus] This is where we learned our names Where different hearts beat the same City lights may pull us far But this town still knows who we are Brick by brick, hand in hand We were stronger when we stood as one From every street, every flame This hometown raised us the same [Bridge] We argued, we broke, we healed again Learned how to bend without giving in Different voices, same refrain Hope sounds louder when we sing it together [Breakdown] It’s not the walls or city lines It’s the people who stood the test of time When the world tries to tear us apart We remember where we start [Final Chorus] This is where we learned our names Where every difference found its place No matter how far we roam This ground still feels like home Shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand We’re still stronger when we stand as one From every street, every flame This hometown lives in our veins [Outro] If I lose my way out there I know the road will lead me back To the town that taught me love And how to stand together, no matter that
