Back to Us [2020 Demo Version]

How did we get here?
How did I not know?
How is this all such a big surprise?
My baby brother,
Crying on the floor
In broken heels, mascara running from his eyes?

I should have known.
I should have seen.
Wasn’t there something I should have seen?

How did I lose you?
How’d I lose your trust?
How’d I not notice when it was gone?
What have I done to
Make you feel you must
Keep to yourself the burden of what’s going on?

I know you’ve always had my back
Like any good brother would.
I wish you knew I’ve had yours, too.
I do, and I will, for good.
Let me prove it to you.

I wanna get back to us.
What do I have to do
So we can get back to us
And I can get back to you?

We would stand side by
Side and back to back,
No matter what kind of foes we’d fight.
Parents or paintball,
There was no attack
I couldn’t face if I could face it with my knight.

You’ll always have an ally here,
A team where we both belong.
When we’re together, you and I,
We’re both more than twice as strong.

I wanna get back to us.
What do I have to do
So we can get back to us
And I can get back to you?
‘Cause when I cover you
And when you cover me,
That’s when the rest of the world should take cover!
I’ll always be there for you.
You can rely on me.
I’ll do what I have to do
Until we get back to us.

I remember every black eye.
I still see every bruise.
Was I consciously ignoring the clues?
Even worse at night than to hear
Every sob, every shout,
Was the way I felt you shutting me out.
I tried to help, I swear,
But every time, you acted like I wasn’t even there
Again, again, and so
At some point I just let you go.
How could I have let you go?

I wanna get back to us.
I gotta get back to you.
‘Cause when we lock our shields,
Take our swords in our hands,
There’s not a monster alive we can’t handle.
You never should have to hide.
Let me help you be you.
I’ll always be by your side
Until we get back to us.
Can we go back to us?
I wanna get back to us.
