Brother Song Lyrics by Kodaline
When we were young we were the onesThe kings and queens oh yeah, we ruled the worldWe smoked cigarettes, man, no regretsWish I could relive every single word
We’ve taken different pathsAnd travelled different roadsI know we’ll always end up on the same one when we’re oldAnd when you’re in the trenchesAnd you’re under fire I will cover you
If I was dying on my kneesYou would be the one to rescue meAnd if you were drowned at seaI’d give you my lungs so you could breathe
I’ve got you brother-er-er-erI’ve got you brother-er-er-erI’ve got you brother-er-er-erI’ve got you brother-er-er-er
Oh brother, we’ll go deeper than the inkBeneath the skin of our tattoosThough we don’t share the same bloodYou’re my brother and I love you that’s the truth
We’re living different livesHeaven only knowsIf we’ll make it back with all our fingers and our toesFive years, twenty years, come backIt will always be the same
If I was dying on my kneesYou would be the one to rescue meAnd if you were drowned at seaI’d give you my lungs so you could breathe
I’ve got you brother-er-er-erI’ve got you brother-er-er-er
And if we hit on troubled waterI’ll be the one to keep you warm and safeAnd we’ll be carrying each otherUntil we say goodbye on our dying day
Because I’ve got you brother-er-er-erI’ve got you brother-er-er-erI’ve got you brother-er-er-erI’ve got you brother-er-er-er
If I was dying on my kneesYou would be the one to rescue meAnd if you were drowned at seaI’d give you my lungs so you could breathe
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohOh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohI’ve got you brother-er-er-erI’ve got you brother-er-er-er
