best man speech - dylan owen lyrics

[intro]
me and my brother…
me and my brother…
me and my brother…

[verse 1]
looking back at us, they’ll be clarity
green as our grandparents trees, in our land of fantasy
there in pine bush
shoot through the acres with our lanterns leaking kerosene
movers and shakers, we had shakers and tambourines
sold so much the holes in our clothes closed up
when you hear this in twenty years don’t choke up
our old apartment walls closing shut
we felt so grown up, the night that our folks broke up
i’ll jog our memories in marathons
we fought over the bed when we went to live at grandmas
you discovered ska, punk rock, skateparks and forgotten woods
i discovered how to sell my comic books
i can still picture you staying up on the red cushion couch with our guardian dog baron watching over us
and then us breaking down a few years later when we heard he was finally gone for good
rip dog

[chorus]
on the days i feel my worst, i see where everything is headed
i daydream about the day that you have your dream wedding
i’ll be your best man, the best man you have that’s living
i’ll give the best best mans speech a best man has ever given

on the days i feel my worst, i see where everything is headed
i daydream about the day that you have your dream wedding
i’ll be your best man, the best man you have that’s living
i’ll give the best best mans speech a best man has ever given

[verse 2]
i was four when tommy was born and mom sang him sweet songs in that hospital ward
we never understood how you memorized the dinosaurs or what you loved paleontology for
now i’m digging up our bones and i’m sorry for that
cause all the artifacts of our home are already p-ssed
if you get that lebanese tattoo, i’ll be there until the bloods dry cause we have cedar trees holding up our bloodline
and there were times you went missing
remember all the road blocks you faces and all the road blocks you shifted?
we would jam all night with timmy on the b-ss, wellie on the bongo drums and a finger-picking lick by james
i discovered music in those bas-m-nts with our friends
and music made me who i am
yeah i discovered music in those bas-m-nts with our friends
ten years later, here i am, chasing it again
roll with the punches

[outro]
this is my best man speech
me and my brother…
me and my brother…
this is my best man speech
this is my best man speech
me and my brother…
i’ll be the best d-mn best man a best mans ever been
this is my best man speech
this is my best man speech
this is my best man speech
this is my best man speech
this is my best man speech
this is my best man speech
