Hand in Glove

from Three by The "J" is for Jack

lyrics

Hey do you remember when
Mom dressed us up in matching clothes
and all the benign punches that we'd throw?
A bond so true and tried
it's funny how best friends can be such rivals
All the trouble we made
and every little secret we have stashed away
I'll never be too old or too grown up to wanna do it all again

You can see it in our features
You can test it in our blood
You can hear it in our voices if you listen close enough
In a blue moon we fight but when push comes to shove...
We know we're hand in glove

The only one to lose what I've lost
One of very few to share the womb
You couldn't make an offer I'd refuse
and that's the gospel truth

So there we were
without a care in all the world
couldn't see beyond our noses
what the universe would hurl our way
until we shared the worst day of our lives
when we heard that same bad news
We learned our first great lesson, there and then
that once it's lost it's gone for good

You can see it in our features
You can test it in our blood
You can hear it in our voices if you listen close enough
In a blue moon we fight but when push comes to shove...
We know we're hand in glove

The only one to lose what I've lost
One of very few to share the womb
You couldn't make an offer I'd refuse
and that's the gospel truth

What's thicker than blood
or stronger a scent than copper?
Still wading the flood...
Keeping our heads above water

And now we're men
we laugh and drink every now and then
Drunkenly beginning every other sentence with
"Hey, remember when?"
Eventually one of us will outlive the other
and the selfish part of me hopes I go first
I wouldn't fare well in a world without the kid I once convinced to piss into mom's purse

You coulda seen it in our features
coulda tested it in our blood
You coulda heard it in our voices if you listened close enough
In a blue moon we fought but when push came to shove...
We were always hand in glove

The only one to lose what I've lost
One of very few to share the womb
You couldn't make an offer I'd refuse
and that's the gospel truth
