Found your pictures
Mailed them to your mother
Got high with your brother
Ran into your dad.

Found your pictures
Mailed them to your mother
Got high with your brother
Ran into your dad.





I watch you, you're ?
All you do is call your friends.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to U.S. Army Airborne's song "We Can Hang" seem to be about a person who is trying to cope with the aftermath of a relationship that has ended. The first two lines, "Found your pictures, mailed them to your mother," suggest that the person is trying to move on from the relationship by getting rid of reminders of the other person. The next line, "Got high with your brother," is a reference to the person turning to drugs or alcohol to numb the pain of the breakup. And in the following line, "Ran into your dad," the person accidentally runs into a family member of the ex-partner, which could be interpreted as a reminder of the end of the relationship.


The repeated line "Found your pictures, mailed them to your mother, got high with your brother, ran into your dad" adds a sense of urgency and repetition to the song, as if the person is stuck in a cycle of trying to escape the memories of the relationship. The final line, "I watch you, you're all you do is call your friends," suggests that the person is also observing their ex moving on and coping with the breakup in their own way.


Overall, the lyrics of "We Can Hang" seem to explore the complex emotions that come with the end of a romantic relationship, including feelings of regret, loss, and the struggle to move on.
