We were tight knit boys Brothers in more than name You would kill for me And knew that I'd do the same And it cut me sharp Hearing you'd gone away
But everything goes away Yeah everything goes away
But I'm going to be here until I'm nothing But bones in the ground
And I was there, when you grew restless Left in the dead of night And I was there, when three months later You were standing in the door all beat and tired And I stepped aside
Everything goes away Yeah everything goes away But I'm gonna be here until I'm nothing But bones in the ground So quiet down
We were opposites at birth I was steady as a hammer No one worried 'cause they knew just where I'd be And they said you were the crooked kind And that you'd never have no worth But you were always gold to me
And back when we were kids We swore we knew the future And our words would take us half way 'round the world But I never left this town And you never saw New York And we ain't ever cross the sea
But I am fine with where I am now This home is home, and all that I need But for you, this place is shame But you can blame me when there's no one left to blame
Oh I don't mind
All my life I've never known where you've been There were holes in you The kind that I could not mend
And I heard you say Right when you left that day Does everything go away? Yeah, everything goes away.
But I'm going to be here 'til forever So just call when you're around.
