Lyrics
Brother
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When we were young, we were the ones
The kings and queens, oh, yeah, we ruled the world
We smoked cigarettes, man, no regrets
Wish I could relive every single word
We've taken different paths and traveled different roads
I know we'll always end up on the same one when we're old
And when you're in the trenches
And you're under fire, I will cover you
If I was dying on my knees
You would be the one to rescue me
And if you were drowned at sea
I'd give you my lungs, so you could breathe
I've got you, brother-er-er-er
I've got you, brother-er-er-er
I've got you, brother-er-er-er
I've got you, brother-er-er-er
Oh, brother, we'll go deeper than the ink
Beneath the skin of our tattoos
Though we don't share the same blood
You're my brother and I love you, that's the truth
We're living different lives, Heaven only knows
If we'll make it back with all our fingers and our toes
5 years, 20 years, come back
It will always be the same
If I was dying on my knees
You would be the one to rescue me
And if you were drowned at sea
I'd give you my lungs, so you could breathe
I've got you, brother-er-er-er
I've got you, brother-er-er-er
And if we hit on troubled water
I'll be the one to keep you warm and safe
And we'll be carrying each other
Until we say goodbye on our dying day
Because I've got you, brother-er-er-er
I've got you, brother-er-er-er
I've got you, brother-er-er-er
I've got you, brother-er-er-er
If I was dying on my knees
You would be the one to rescue me
And if you were drowned at sea
I'd give you my lungs, so you could breathe
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I've got you, brother-er-er-er
I've got you, brother-er-er-er
