Oh, My Brother

Oh, my brother
You gotta show them
You gotta grab the world by the hand
Life's not over
You should call them
They can tell you that the world still stands

I'd drop by your place and
Life was amazing
Nintendo 64
We were always playing
We were blazing
And we were senseless
Lukewarm beer gone
By the cases

And we walked to town
An hour at a time
And you told me you
Wish you'd die
I'd swore I'd be around
And keep you going strong
But time has a funny way of proving us wrong

Oh, my brother
You gotta show them
You gotta grab the world by the hand
Life's not over
You should call them
They can tell you that the world still stands

We got old so fast
The white strands in the palm of our hand
And we wanted to be famous
Dance with the angels
But nothing in life goes as we plan

Who are our friends?
Do they mean shit?
Will they catch our sorry ass when we slip?
Who are we really?
Are we worth shit?
Are we just fucking hypocrites?

Oh, my brother
Everyone knows, we
Never grabbed the world by the hand
Life feels over
It's all pointless
Can you tell me if the world still stands?

And our daughters
Stand by the water
Asking why we were so damn late
And the music
In all its beauty
Is playing while the water reach our waist

Oh, my brother
I am floating
Let the world grab us by the hand
Oh, life feels over
I wish I was sober
I can no longer see land

Oh, my brother
You gotta show them
You gotta grab the world by the hand
Life's never over
You should call them
They can tell you that the world still stands
