The Runaway Brothers
Eternal Bonds Unraveled: The Runaway Brothers' Melancholic Journey
Lyrics
I didn't want to write this song
I had reservations about composing this song
Because I love you and you've been my friend so long
Expressing love and acknowledging a long-standing friendship
We were the same when we were young
We shared similarities in our youth
Living it two as one
Lived together as a cohesive unit
All through the scrapes and all the narrow escapes
Navigated challenges and close calls together
You pulled me through you made me feel like I was not insane
You provided support, making me feel sane
We promised that we'd never change
We vowed to remain unchanged
Holding out on the edge
Hanging on the precipice
Today - life's a different story today
Present day brings a different narrative
Sad and yet not sad in a way
A mix of sorrow and an unusual form of contentment
People never do stay the same
People inevitably undergo transformations
And the runaway brothers have had their day
The runaway brothers' era has concluded
Remember on your wedding day
Recalling emotions on your wedding day
I must admit I had the strangest feeling then
An odd sensation during the church ceremony
Outside the Church - we took some flak
Encountering criticism outside the Church
Both throwing up round the back
Both experiencing nausea in private
But now when we meet up today
Presently, when we reunite, conversation feels awkward
It don't seem right that we just don't know what to say
Struggling to find the right words
Not knowing what to do
Uncertain about what actions to take
Today - life's a different story today
Contemporary life has evolved into a different narrative
Sad and yet not sad in a way
A peculiar blend of sadness and acceptance
People never do stay the same
People are inherently changeable
And the runaway brothers have had their day
The runaway brothers' era has ended
You've got a job, I understand
Acknowledging your job and marital status
You've got a wife, I got the band
You've settled down, while I'm committed to the band
I never thought I'd write this song
Reflecting on the unexpected act of writing this song
I never thought that we could change so much - so long
Surprised by the extent of our mutual changes over time
I won't forget you - oh my friend
Pledging lasting friendship
Here's holding out 'til the end
Committing to remain friends until the end
Today - life's a different story today
Today's reality differs from the past
Sad and yet not sad in a way
A complex blend of sadness and acceptance
People never do stay the same
People inherently undergo transformations
And the runaway brothers have had their day
The era of the runaway brothers has concluded
Whatever happened to the runaway brothers?
Pondering the fate of the runaway brothers
Whatever happened to the runaway brothers?
Reiterating the uncertainty surrounding the runaway brothers
La la la etc.
