[Verse 1] First fight in a parking lot Over who got shotgun Who got shot By the words we threw Yeah We both went too far Two bedrooms down the same short hall Same posters on the same old wall You hated my friends I stole your guitar [Pre-Chorus] But every time the world got loud You’d stand in front and talk it down I’d crack a joke You’d roll your eyes Still You stayed on my side [Chorus] Brothers Means more than sharing a last name More than blood in a blue vein It’s “I’m here Even when I’m not alright” Brothers Is losing you in your own storm Driving all night just to keep you warm Arguing all the way But making it home That word means never alone [Verse 2] You called me from a bathroom stall Said “I messed up Man I lost it all” I heard my own voice Breaking in your fall You were the wild one Chasing flame I was the quiet Holding shame Turns out we were just Two sides of the same [Pre-Chorus] I hated when you saw me weak You hated when I wouldn’t speak Funny how the mirror hurts Till you share the same dirt [Chorus] Brothers Means more than pictures on one frame More than jerseys More than games It’s “I’ll sit here ‘til your hands don’t shake” Brothers Is laughing while the plates fly Door slams Then the long drive Cursing each other Then saying “you good?” That word means “I understood” [Bridge] One day we’ll be grayer men Telling our kids how it was back then You’ll say I saved you I’ll say you saved me first [Chorus] Brothers Means more than winning the hard fight More than being the one right It’s “I’ll go down if you go down too” (yeah) Brothers Is every scar that we both hide Different stories The same pride If this whole world forgets our names We’ll still answer to that one anyway [Outro] Brothers Say it soft It still hits hard Two hearts learning how to guard And then to let each other in (oh) Brothers Is losing And choosing again To stand on the same side of the end That word means You’re my closest friend
