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 that's 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 hit on troubled 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 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
