We were tight knit boys, brothers in more then 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, and 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 would 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 never crossed 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
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, and left in the dead of night
And I was there, when three months later, you were standing in the door all beat and tired
