Always Gold - Short Attention Span Mix

We were tight-knit boys
Brothers in more than name
You would kill for me
And knew I'd do the same

And it cut me sharp, hearing you'd gone away
But everything goes away
Yeah, everything goes away
But I'm gonna be here 'til I'm nothing
But bones in the ground

And I was there when you grew restless
You left in the dead of night
And I was there when, three months later
You were standing in the door, all beaten and tired
And I stepped aside

Everything goes away
Yeah, everything goes away
But I'm gonna be here 'til I'm nothing
But bones in the ground
So quiet down

We were opposites at birth
I was steady as a hammer
And no one worried 'cause they knew just where I'd be
And they said you were the crooked kind
That you would never have no worth
But you were always gold to me

And back when we were kids
We swore we knew the future
And our woods would take us halfway 'round the world
But I never left this town
And you never saw New York
And we ain't ever crossed the sea

But I am fine with where I am now
This home is home and all that I need
But for you, this place is shame
But you can blame me when there's no one left to blame
Oh, I don't mind

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 gonna be here 'til forever
So just call when you're around
