Song lyrics

When we were young

We were the ones

The kings and queens

Oh yeah we ruled the world

We smoked cigarettes

Man no regrets

Wish I could relive

Every single word


We've taken different paths and traveled different roads

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

I've got you brother

I've got you brother

I've got you brother


Oh brother, we go deeper than the ink

Beneath the skin of our tattoos

Though 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 and our toes

5 years, 20 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

I've got you brother


And if we hit on troubled water

I'll be the one to keep you warm and safe

And we'll be carrying each other

Until we say goodbye on our dying day


Because I've got you brother

I've got you brother

I've got you brother

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


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


I've got you brother

I've got you brother
