[Intro]
Footsteps echoing, shadows crawling
Every step feels like I'm falling
In this stairwell, just me and you
Doing what a son's gotta do
[Verse 1]
Found you slumped against the wall again
Empty bottles tell me where you've been
Neighbors peeking through their doors at night
Judging eyes, but I ain't here to fight
Lifting you up like you once did for me
But roles reversed ain't how this shit should be
Your breath reeks of decisions that you made
While my childhood memories start to fade
[Chorus]
In this stairwell, carrying the weight
Of a broken father, it ain't too late
Step by step, we're climbing higher
Even though my arms are getting tired
In this stairwell, beneath fluorescent lights
Praying that you'll make it through the night
Every floor's a battle that we face
While your demons keep their steady pace
[Verse 2]
Metal steps creaking under pressure
Like my mind trying to keep it together
Mama always said you'd end up here
Now I'm living out her biggest fear
Got your arm around my shoulder blade
Thinking 'bout the sacrifices made
Fourth floor feels like forty more
As I drag us towards our apartment door
[Bridge]
Sometimes I wish that I could hate you
But blood runs deeper than the truth
Yeah, they say that love's unconditional
But nobody mentions how it's cruel
In this concrete cage we're climbing
While my heart keeps redesigning
What it means to be your son
When the battle's never won
[Chorus]
In this stairwell, carrying the weight
Of a broken father, it ain't too late
Step by step, we're climbing higher
Even though my arms are getting tired
In this stairwell, beneath fluorescent lights
Praying that you'll make it through the night
Every floor's a battle that we face
While your demons keep their steady pace
[Outro]
Tomorrow you might not remember
This moment between December
Just another night in this stairwell
Where dreams and nightmares dwell
But I'll keep carrying you home
'Cause I can't leave you alone
In this stairwell, just me and you
Doing what a son's gotta do
