I didn't want to write this song
Because I love you
and you've been my friend so long
We were the same when we were young
Living it two as one
We shared our money and our clothes
We shared the pain that no-one else could ever know
A prison cell - we made a home
Doing it on our own
All through the scrapes and all the narrow escapes

You pulled me through
You made me feel like I was not insane
We promised that we'd never change
Holding out on the edge

Today - life's a diffrent story today
Sad and yet not sad in a way
People never do stay the same
And the runaway brothers have had their day

Remember on your wedding day
I must admit I had the strangest feeling then
Outside the church - we took some flak
Both throwing up round the back
But now when we meet up today
It don't seem right that we just don't know what to say
Both stood there staring at our shoes
Not knowing what to do

Today - life's a diffrent story today
Sad and yet not sad in a way
People never do stay the same
And the runaway brothers have had their day

You've got a job, I understand
You've got a wife, I got the band

I never thought I'd write this song
I never thought that we would change so much - so long -
I won't forget you - oh my friend
Here's holding out till the end
