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

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 different 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

Not knowing what to do

Today - life's a different 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 could change so much - so long

I won't forget you - oh my friend

Here's holding out 'til the end

Today - life's a different story today

Sad and yet not sad in a way

People never do stay the same

And the runaway brothers have had their day

Whatever happened to the runaway brothers?

Whatever happened to the runaway brothers?

La la la etc.
