[Verse 1]
We were like brothers
Lives entwined
Kids who grew up together
Dreaming of the world we'd get to see one time
I found a girl and you bought a car
Seemed like that summer was over in a minute
Now it's a fading wedding card
[Chorus]
And so life goes on, when childhood's gone
The times we've had, no words can say
And all the things we do won't fade away
A real friend's like a shelter on a rainy day
[Verse 2]
Tear of a widow, a hermit's plea
Swords of an Angel King
We got to see the world in flames
Before the calm
Fought like an eagle
Waited for the dove
We were the best, never knew there was a limit
But now all hell has broken loose...
[Chorus]
Need you to
Give my son my purple heart
Brother, leave me, run, don't close my eyes
My last save point's getting out of reach
My game is over, let me fade away
And will you tell my son
'bout the purple heart
And what it means to have him keep it today
And that he knows I smile in the clouds above
Come see me at what he calls candle lawns...
