Always Gold (Short Attention Span Mix)

We were tight-knit boys
 Brothers in more than name
 You would kill for me
 And knew I'd do the same
 And it cut me sharp, hearing you'd gone away
 But everything goes away
 Yeah, everything goes away
 But I'm gonna be here 'til I'm nothing
 But bones in the ground
 And I was there when you grew restless
 You left in the dead of night
 And I was there when, three months later
 You were standing in the door, all beaten and tired
 And I stepped aside
 ♪
 Everything goes away
 Yeah, everything goes away
 But I'm gonna be here 'til I'm nothing
 But bones in the ground
 So quiet down
 We were opposites at birth
 I was steady as a hammer
 And no one worried 'cause they knew just where I'd be
 And they said you were the crooked kind
 That you would never have no worth
 But you were always gold to me
 ♪
 And back when we were kids
 We swore we knew the future
 And our woods would take us halfway 'round the world
 But I never left this town
 And you never saw New York
 And we ain't ever crossed the sea
 
 But I am fine with where I am now
 This home is home and all that I need
 But for you, this place is shame
 But you can blame me when there's no one left to blame
 Oh, I don't mind
 ♪
 All my life, I've never known where you've been
 There were holes in you, the kind that I could not mend
 And I heard you say, right when you left that day
 "Does everything go away?"
 Yeah, everything goes away
 But I'm gonna be here 'til forever
 So just call when you're around
