Q&A
We End Up Together Lyrics
When you gonna do some damage,
Little Brother?
Now that half your life is over
If you're lucky
Looking at the trends of men down
Through your family
Boom, there go the treetops
Once more 'round the sundial
Just in case you were not listening
I'm for damage
Sweet damage
Oh, damage
Sweet damage
Oh, damage
Come on, tell us what we've won
Little Brother's doing well
With his cave painting, selling
To the bandits and their brides
Little Brother, you're inside
"You're a natural," we joke,
"In the early ABCs"
Little Brother couldn't see
Past his eyes once again
He thought you were in love
He's just glad to be free
To have come so highly
Recommended
Oh oh oh oh
And you looked
Oh, like you were saying something
And you looked
Like you were saying something
With his slight victory
Little Brother took the keys
To the city which he found
On the floor of his van
Little Brother, cap in hand,
Found the turn of events
Unexpected
Oh oh oh oh
And you looked
Oh, like you were saying something
And you looked
Like you were saying something
Oh oh oh oh
Introductions have been made
Little Brother, I'm convinced,
Yet again blew her off
She thought she'd stick it out
Little Brother wished her well
The best wishes on both ends
Extended
Oh oh oh oh
And you looked
Oh, like you were saying something
And you looked
Like you were saying something
Oh oh oh oh
Ma ma ma ma
We end up together
Little Brother?
Now that half your life is over
If you're lucky
Looking at the trends of men down
Through your family
Once more 'round the sundial
Just in case you were not listening
I'm for damage
Sweet damage
Oh, damage
Sweet damage
Oh, damage
Little Brother's doing well
With his cave painting, selling
To the bandits and their brides
Little Brother, you're inside
"You're a natural," we joke,
"In the early ABCs"
Little Brother couldn't see
Past his eyes once again
He thought you were in love
He's just glad to be free
To have come so highly

Oh, like you were saying something
And you looked
Like you were saying something
Little Brother took the keys
To the city which he found
On the floor of his van
Little Brother, cap in hand,
Found the turn of events

Oh, like you were saying something
And you looked
Like you were saying something
Little Brother, I'm convinced,
Yet again blew her off
She thought she'd stick it out
Little Brother wished her well
The best wishes on both ends

Oh, like you were saying something
And you looked
Like you were saying something

Says Carl Newman: "It's a song about all of the times in the past that I had met my wife, or been in the same room as my wife, and had been completely unaware that, well, we end up together."

That line in the second verse should be "Little Brother, cap in hand".

Moreover, it's about taking the bad with the good in knowing that someone is family, or as good as, and loving how people affect you.
