[Intro – gentle acoustic guitar strums, soft piano arpeggios] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – warm acoustic guitar, subtle shaker rhythm] We were just teenagers, best friends on a ride High school nights, you always by my side Weekend parties, yeah, we lived it up Sittin’ here reminiscing ’bout the crazy stuff [Verse 2 – layered acoustic guitar, faint bassline] Like sleeping in a bathroom down in O.C. Those were the days—wild and free But I broke the girl code, lost you along the way Sixteen years of silence, with nothing left to say [Pre-Chorus – building string swells, steady drum beat] Then I saw your message, didn’t know what to do “So you like girls now?”—could it really be you? I gave you my number, hoped you’d come through That Mother’s Day date felt like something brand new [Chorus 1 – full band, soaring strings, powerful vocal harmonies] Through the fire, through the flames, I’ll stay When the world burns down, I won’t walk away When your sky falls dark and your faith feels gone I’ll be right beside you, holding on Yeah, no matter what we’re walking into I’d lose it all just to stand with you Every scar, every storm we’ve been through I’m forever walking through the fire with you [Verse 3 – stripped-back acoustic guitar, soft vocal delivery] You fight your battles quiet, but I know they’re loud With shadows in your mind trying to pull you down But you wear that smile like armor on your skin Even in the dark, you don’t let it win [Verse 4 – added piano, light snare taps] I see your pain, yeah, it cuts me in two Watching you carry what you’re going through Stepmom to Bear, Boo, and Dinka too You hold us together like only you do [Pre-Chorus 2 – intensified strings, driving drum beat] Two years of fighting, still standing tall Your strength’s a light that outshines it all So I’ll walk through the fire, yeah I’ll take that heat Put gasoline on my boots, still stay on my feet [Chorus 2 – full orchestration, layered vocal harmonies, maximum emotion] When the world’s burning down, promise I’ll stay Through the fire, the flames, know I won’t walk away When your sky falls dark and your faith starts to fade Know my love will hold steady, never gonna change I’ll be right beside you, forever holding on 8 long years and still going strong Yeah, we might not always know what we’re walking into But I’d lose it all, just to stand beside you Every scar, every storm we’ve ever been through Still, I’ll forever, forever walk through the fire with you [Bridge – minimal piano, raw vocal delivery, building tension] We were lost, we were young, torn in two But God mended my heart and made my prayers come true He guided me to the road that led me right straight back to you If I could take your pain, I swear I’d bare it all [Verse 5 – soft string swells, gentle drum roll] Every tear, every scar, every time that you fall Yeah, I’d carry that weight just to set you free Trade your broken nights if it meant you could breathe You don’t have to fight those demons alone [Final Chorus – full band, explosive strings, choir-like harmonies] Through the fire, through the flames, I’ll stay When the world burns down, I won’t walk away When your sky falls dark and your faith feels gone I’ll be right beside you, holding on I’m your wife, your rock, & best friend So never again will you be on your own Through all the fear, and the pain, every heart-breaking view For you I’d walk through fire with gasoline on my shoes [Outro – fading acoustic guitar, soft piano, whispered vocal] I’m forever walking through the fire with you (Instrumental Solo)
