[Verse 1]

We were tight knit boys, brothers in more than name

You would kill for me and knew that I'd do the same

And it cut me sharp, hearing you'd gone away

But everything goes away, yeah, everything goes away

[Pre-Chorus]

But I'm going to be here until I'm nothing

But bones in the ground

[Chorus]

And I was there when you grew restless

Left in the dead of night

And I was there when three months later

You were standing in the door all beat and tired

And I stepped aside

[Post-Chorus]

Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Everything goes away, yeah, everything goes away

But I am gonna be here 'til I'm nothing but bones in the ground

So quiet down

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]

We were opposites at birth, I was steady as a hammer

And no one worried 'cause they knew just where I'd be

No one worried 'cause they knew just where I'd be

And they said you were the crooked kind and that you'd never have no worth

But you were always gold to me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

And back when we were kids, we swore we knew the future

And our words would take us half way 'round the world

But I never left this town, and you never saw New York

And we ain't ever cross the sea

[Chorus]

But I am fine with where I am now (Ooh)

This home is home, and all that I need (Ooh)

But for you, this place is shame (Ooh, ooh)

But you can blame me when there's no one left to blame (Ooh, ooh)

Oh, I don't mind

[Instrumental Break]

[Post-Chorus]

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (Ooh)

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah (Ooh)

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh (Ooh)

Ah, ah, ah (Ooh)

[Outro]

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 going to be here 'til forever, so just call when you're around
