Macaulay

Since the eighth grade, I always knew you had a light

We drifted apart, but we made it back alright

Six years together, picking up where we left off

Listening to music, letting the hard world go soft

We’re cooking in the kitchen, two foodies sharing a plate

Putting on a movie, staying up way too late

You reached right in and you touched my very soul

Macaulay, with you, my spirit feels whole

So when the shadows fall and the walls close in

I’m standing right beside you through the thick and thin

Whatever comes your way, no matter what we go through

You can rely on me, I’m holding on to you

You are my heart, even when we're apart

I love you, Macaulay. Ditto, from the start.

You’ve got a humble spirit, always trying to heal

Taking care of everyone, asking them how they feel

I picture you camping, breathing in the pine

Building something beautiful, leaving the noise behind

The animals trust you, the forest calls your name

I know the heavy days try to put out your flame

But the battles in your mind don't change who you are

No matter the distance, you're never too far

I know you made mistakes, and I know where you are today

But concrete and steel can't take my love away

The struggles overtook you, but your story isn't done

We have so many trails left to hike in the sun

Stay strong for me, keep your head up high

I'll be waiting right here under the open sky

So when the shadows fall and the walls close in

I’m standing right beside you through the thick and thin

Whatever comes your way, no matter what we go through

You can rely on me, I’m holding on to you

You are my heart, even when we're apart

I love you, Macaulay. Ditto, from the start.
