Oh Brother
Turner Frank Lyrics

I never had a brother, old friend you had three.
I didn't have any siblings, but you had three, my old friend.

You always said that if you had another one it would be me.
You used to tell me that if you could have another brother, you would choose me.

When you come through the flames, not everything has survived;
Sometimes, when you go through a tough time, not everything and everyone can make it out unscathed.

Forget about family now, we've got our old flyers,
We don't need to worry about having family, because we have our old flyers and shared memories.

Lame tattoos,
We have some cheesy tattoos to remind us of each other.

The in-jokes and memories,
We have inside jokes and shared memories that only we understand.

The misspent youth.
We may have made some mistakes and had some wild times, but that's all part of our shared past.

And yeah we ran out of miles,
We may have grown apart geographically or emotionally.

I guess that's true,
Admitting that our relationship may have changed or weakened.

But I know I'll see you when I see you.
But I have confidence that we will reconnect when the timing is right.

I had a new guitar, you had a drumkit,
We both had different musical talents and instruments.

And I knew the chords to "Smells Like Teen Spirit".
I knew how to play a popular song that we both liked.

Long summer afternoons washed out in the haze
We spent lazy afternoons together, just hanging out and enjoying each other's company.

I'll come round to your place, your folks are away
I'll come over to your house when your parents are out of town.

For a while,
We will enjoy each other's company for a period of time.

So let's play
Let's play some music together.

Till we're tired,
Let's keep playing until we're too tired to play anymore.

And then hey,
But after that,

It's "Goodbye",
It's time to say goodbye.

But I know I'll see you when I see you.
But I'm confident that we will see each other again someday.

This isn't where it ends;
This isn't the end of our story together.

The world will keep on turning,
The world will continue to spin, even when we're apart.

We'll all make more mistakes, we'll all have time to make amends.
We will both continue to make mistakes in life, but we will also have time to make things right between us.

We'll carry different loads,
We will have our own individual burdens to bear.

We'll all get different blisters,
We will each experience our own unique struggles and hardships.

Even so you know we'll miss them when we're finally out of road.
However, despite these difficulties, we will always miss each other when our journeys finally come to an end.

Time it will change us but don't you forget:
The passage of time will change us both, but don't ever forget:

You are the only brother I've got.
You are the closest thing I have to a brother, and I value your friendship immensely.

I'll see you when I see you.
I'm not sure when or where, but I know we will see each other again someday.
