Best Man Speech

Me and my brother...
Me and my brother...
Me and my brother...
Looking back at us, there'll be clarity
Green as our grandparent's trees in our land of fantasy, there in Pine Bush
Shoot through the acres with our lanterns leaking kerosene
Movers and shakers, we had shakers and tambourines
Sold so much the holes in our clothes closed up
When you hear this in 20 years don't choke up
Our old apartment walls closing shut
We felt so grown up, the night that our folks broke up
I'll jog our memories in marathons
We fought over the bed when we went to live at grandma's
You discovered ska, punk rock, skate parks, and forgotten woods
I discovered how to sell my comic bookes
I can still picture you staying up on the red cushion couch with our guardian dog Baron watching over us
And then us breaking down a couple years later when we heard that he was finally gone for good
Rest in peace dog
On the days I feel my worst I see where everything is headed
I daydream about the day that you have your dream wedding
I'll be your best man
The best man you have that's living
I'll give the best best man speech a best man's ever given
On the days I feel my worst I see where everything is headed
I daydream about the day that you have your dream wedding
I'll be your best man
The best man you have that's living
I'll give the best best man speech a best man's ever given
I was four when Tommy was born and mom sang him sweet songs in that hospital ward
We never understood how you memorized the dinosaurs or what you loved paleontology for
Now I'm digging up our bones and I'm sorry for that
Cuz all the artifacts of our home are already passed
If you get that Lebanese tattoo, I'll be there until the blood's dry
Cuz we have cedar trees holding up our bloodline
And there were times you went missing
Remember all the road blocks you faced and all the roadblocks you shifted
We would jam all night with Timmy on the bass, Wellie on the bongo drums and fingerpicking lick by James
I discovered music in those basements with our friends
And music made me who I am
Yeah I discovered music in those basements with our friends
Ten years later, here I am, chasing it again
Roll with the punches
On the days I feel my worst I see where everything is headed
I daydream about the day that you have your dream wedding
I'll be your best man
The best man you have that's living
I'll give the best best man speech a best man's ever given
On the days I feel my worst I see where everything is headed
I daydream about the day that you have your dream wedding
I'll be your best man
The best man you have that's living
I'll give the best best man speech a best man's ever given
This is my best man speech
Me and my brother
Me and my brother
This is my best man speech
This is my best man speech
Me and my brother
I'll be the best damn best man a best man's ever been
This is my best man speech
This is my best man speech
This is my best man speech
This is my best man speech
This is my best man speech
This is my best man speech
