Lyrics

I watch my boys playing in the back yard
They're slaying dragons
Swinging plastic swords in the brush
The little is steady trying to act hard
His older brother doesn't seem to notice it much
I never noticed feeling like a hero
I don't remember if you looked at me like that
And you could figure, what the hell did we know
But you should've been the greatest friend that I ever had
My brother
I don't know what I'd do
To get back there
My brother
And to be a gang of two
But IOU
A couple years apart and school's a nightmare
And I was focused on a girl and on my band
I could've helped you get them out of your hair
But I was young and I didn't understand
My brother
What was I supposed to do
Were you lonely
My brother
Did I make it harder too
IOU
It shouldn't be another job for children
To have another human being's heart to protect
You gotta know that every moment matters
That's something you don't really see until you reflect
And now we're separated by an ocean
And even growing up, it doesn't look like we thought
But lately I've been chewing on the notion
I really wish that I'd have fought
Made a showing
My brother
Of my love and gratitude
My only
My brother
For the years I can't undo
Well IOU
