Brother From Another Mother

When I was a kid I could not shed
Creative things that grew inside my head
My only-child intensity it smothers
The lack of any sisters or of brothers
These siblings would exist always for me
Even though they were imaginary
They never asked to leave or be set free
My point of view they always seemed to see
Seemed to see
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Woh oh oh

Singing "Two Of Us" with you one day
Reality would finally have a say
Though music had a truly mighty call
You were not really John, I was not Paul
But doing things the only truthful way
It meant it didn't matter anyway
I could see a shifting of the lens
I let it be and knew that we'd be friends

You know
Somewhere deep inside my soul
We strum three chords and the truth
It was all planned
At times I didn't understand
We never left our youth

As time it passed and we have both grown old
We both would rarely do as we were told
My ego always needs a massive feed
Imaginary friends always agreed
With everything I always had to say
I knew deep down this wouldn't be OK
With people that were real and filled my cup
The time has come for me to just grow up
And just shut up
Yeah yeah yeah
Woh oh oh
George, just shut up
George, just shut up

Now I am a kid at middle age
I fluctuate from bliss to quiet rage
But something from my childhood dreams has stayed
I think it is the friendships I have made
So maybe pride it comes before the fall
Yes maybe you are John and I am Paul
In all that we imagine there is truth
So mate you are my bro and I love you

You knew
As our friendship slowly grew
We both were born to run
It was all planned
As we channeled through the band
A love forever young

You know
Somewhere deep inside my soul
We strum three chords and the truth
It was all planned
At times I didn't understand
We never left our youth
