Lyrics

[Verse 1] We were tight knit boys, brothers in more than 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 [Pre-Chorus] But I'm going to be here until I'm nothing But bones in the ground [Chorus] And I was there when you grew restless 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 [Post-Chorus] Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Everything goes away, yeah, everything goes away But I am gonna be here 'til I'm nothing but bones in the ground So quiet down [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] We were opposites at birth, I was steady as a hammer And no one worried 'cause they knew just where I'd be No one worried 'cause they knew just where I'd be And they said you were the crooked kind and that you'd never have no worth But you were always gold to me [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] 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 ever cross the sea [Chorus] But I am fine with where I am now (Ooh) This home is home, and all that I need (Ooh) But for you, this place is shame (Ooh, ooh) But you can blame me when there's no one left to blame (Ooh, ooh) Oh, I don't mind [Instrumental Break] [Post-Chorus] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (Ooh) Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah (Ooh) Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh (Ooh) Ah, ah, ah (Ooh) [Outro] 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
