Born on the same street, your house had a garden, your parents were older or maybe not
I fell in the playground and bloodied my knees up, you gave me a hand up
We sat on the school bus and talked about nothing, double geography
I lent you a pencil, you gave me a roll-up, we stood by the arches until tea
Somewhere in the roads we took
I saw your beginning
But never the ending
Then at a party drinking a off-brand beer and wearing your rucksack
We laughed at the cool kids because we were smarter or maybe just quieter or anyway
You told me that college was harder than you thought that it was going to be
I spoke to your girlfriend, she said you don't sleep much, we danced in the kitchen - Elastica
Somewhere in the roads we took
I saw your beginning
But never the ending
Some people told me you had gone
At first I didn't believe those people knew what they were talking about
And I don't have the right to miss you and yet
Your brother's a father his son likes my daughter and she's getting better
Oh you never get older and life can be torture but I will remember
Somewhere in the roads we took
I saw your beginning
But never the ending
