My brother and I
My Brother and I Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When this started
It was us against the world
But as time has passed
It seems a rift here has emerged

It's like the words I said
Mean nothing now
Remember the days
Of chasing down the streetlights
When a few blocks
Felt like it was ten miles
It's all gone now
And I'm so proud
Of what you've become
The person you've grown into
I can't believe everything we've been through
I'd keep you around
If I knew how

Our distance keeps growing
As I reminisce alone
There's no way of knowing
How long I've been on this road

It's like the days that passed
Mean nothing now

Remember the days
Of chasing down the streetlights
When a few blocks
Felt like it was ten miles
It's all gone now
And I'm so proud
Of what you've become
The person you've grown into
I can't believe everything we've been through
I'd keep you around
If I knew how

Remember the days
Of chasing down the streetlights
When a few blocks
Felt like it was ten miles
It's all gone now
And I'm so proud
Of what you've become
The person you've grown into
I can't believe everything we've been through




I'd keep you around
If I knew how

When this started
At the beginning of our relationship


It was us against the world
We were united against all obstacles


But as time has passed
As we have gotten older


It seems a rift here has emerged
It seems that we have grown apart


It's like the words I said
What I said previously no longer holds true


Mean nothing now
Have lost their significance


Remember the days
Let's recount our shared memories


Of chasing down the streetlights
Of running after the lights on the street


When a few blocks
When a short distance


Felt like it was ten miles
Felt like a very long distance


It's all gone now
Those times are now in the past


And I'm so proud
I'm very impressed and proud of you


Of what you've become
Of the person you have grown into


The person you've grown into
The person you have developed into


I can't believe everything we've been through
I'm amazed at all the experiences we've shared together


I'd keep you around
I would like to spend more time with you


If I knew how
If I only knew how to do that


Our distance keeps growing
We seem to be growing further apart


As I reminisce alone
As I reflect on our shared memories by myself


There's no way of knowing
There is no certain way to determine


How long I've been on this road
How much time I've spent on this journey


It's like the days that passed
The past days seem to have lost their value


Mean nothing now
Have lost their significance


I'd keep you around
I would like to spend more time with you


If I knew how
If I only knew how to do that
