When we were young, we were the ones that kings and queens, oh yeah, we ruled the world We smoked cigarettes, met no regrets, wish I could relive every single word We've taken different paths, we've traveled different worlds I know we'll always end up on the same one when we're old And when you're in the trenches and you're under fire, I will cover you If I was dying on my knees, you would be the one to rescue me And if you were drowned at sea, I'd give you my lungs so you could breathe I've got you, brother Oh brother, we go deeper than the ink beneath the skin of our tattoos No, we don't share the same blood, you're my brother and I love you, that's the truth We're living different lives, heaven only knows If we'll make it back with all our fingers in our toes Five years, twenty years, come back, we'll always be the same If I was dying on my knees, you would be the one to rescue me And if you were drowned at sea, I'd give you my lungs so you could breathe I've got you, brother And if we hit on trouble, water, I'd be the one to keep you warm and safe And we'll be carrying each other until we say goodbye on a dying day Because I've got you, brother If I was dying on my knees, you would be the one to rescue me And if you were drowned at sea, I'd give you my lungs so you could breathe I've got you, brother I've got you, brother
