He's been my brother since we were just kids
Riding our bikes up in the Shotover hills
Now he's alone and he's in the dark
With a bottle and a broken heart
They were together since a year oversees
Stayed in her lake house with a massive TV
Now he's alone and he's moving out
The piano gonna write about
How long do you wait?
How long do you cry?
Til those tears they are tears of mine
As we turn the page
Those years they go by
And those tears they are tears of mine
He's been my brother since we were just kids
We changed our band name more often than our gigs
But now we're split and we're far apart
We need a bottle for our broken hearts
They were together through their ups and lockdowns
Until her certainty had turned into doubt
But you know I will always have you round
And you know we can talk about
How long do you wait?
How long do you cry?
Til those tears are tears of mine
As we turn the page
Those years they go by
And those tears they are tears of mine
He's been my brother since we were just kids
The Manor Cup final, my team against his
Our star man well he got subbed off
Faked a limp and then 4-1 we lost
How long do you wait?
How long do you cry?
Til those tears are tears of mine
As we turn the page
Those years they go by
And those tears they are tears of mine
