One of Us Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey kid, did you know?
Today 16 years ago
It was you and I for the last time
You angrily said
With a smoke ring 'round your heads
You would see me on the other side
[Chorus]
C'mon, I know you want more
C'mon and open your door
After it all you'll find out
You were always one of us
Act like you don't remember
You said we'd live forever
Who do you think you're kidding?
You were only one of us
In time
[Verse 2]
When you come to mind
Disappear a thousand times
Keep me hanging on to the old life
Well, I've gotta go
Maybe see you down the road
Won't you tell the kid I said goodbye
[Chorus]
C'mon, I know you want more
C'mon and open your door
After it all you'll find out
You were always one of us
Act like you don't remember
You said we'd live forever
End up at the beginning
You were only one of us
In time
[Bridge]
In
In
[Chorus]
C'mon, I know you want more
C'mon and open your door
After it all you'll find out
You were always one of us
Act like you don't remember
You said we'd live forever
End up at the beginning
You were only one of us
In time
[Outro]
(It's a shame, a shame)
(We thought you'd change, my friend)
(But you were always one of us)
(It's a shame, a shame)
(We thought you'd change, my friend)
(But you were always one of us)

I definitely like this song and heartfelt lyrics, and my first thought was that he's singing about his brother... but the last time the Gallaghers performed together was in 2009... not exactly near the 16 years mentioned in the lyrics. I suppose it's possible he is referring to the last time they were in studio together, but I haven't been able to find any definitive dates on that just yet.
