[Verse 1]
You kicked mud on my shoes outside the school gate
Nicked my fries, spit laughs, called me names I hate
We never said sorry, just picked up the ball
Every bruise just made us tougher, that’s all
Mom yelling from the kitchen, “You two, knock it off!”
Hiding shared candy right under her cough
You rolled your eyes, tossed the last piece at me
I never said thanks, but I think you could see
[Chorus]
Blood runs deeper than words, ****, we’ve never been good with that
A fist bump, a crooked grin, it’s just how we always chat
You’re my anchor in the worst parts, even if we never say a goddamn thing
So I’ll sing it, shout it, let the melody sting
Blood runs deeper than words, deeper than I’ll ever sing
[Verse 2]
Truth: I used to punch the wall, mad you never called back
Truth: Cried at your wedding and said it was just the track
Truth: I got drunk and told strangers about you, man
Truth: I miss you in ways I don’t understand
(yeah—ahhh, oh, blood runs deeper, deeper)
[Chorus]
Blood runs deeper than words, ****, we’ve never been good with that
A fist bump, a crooked grin, it’s just how we always chat
You’re my anchor in the worst parts, even if we never say a goddamn thing
So I’ll sing it, shout it, let the melody sting
Blood runs deeper than words—(deeper than I’ll ever sing)
[Bridge]
I’d punch through the ****ing night, just to speak plain
But talking’s no use, all the feeling remains
I’d break down these walls if I knew how
But your silence is comfort, enough for now
[Chorus]
Blood runs deeper than words! (blood runs, blood runs, ohhh)
Deeper than words! (ohhh—aye, yeah)
Blood runs deeper than words!
