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 travelled 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
thats 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 would 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 don't try the 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 would give you my lungs
so you could breathe
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
