We Never Mentioned

© 2008 Neil Cotton/ Steve Soucy


Brad's been like a brother since the spring that I turned nine
We met at Cherry Beach throwing frisbees at the sky
Swimming and crashing into the waves, and drying off in the sun
We'd talked about a lotta things, 'cept we always stayed away from one

We never mentioned love
Boys don't fret about that stuff, so much
It was all about the friendship
Getting good as good can get
We were proud of it & felt a lot of it
But it never came up
No we never mentioned love


Since Brad was one year older, he could put the pressure on
Pounded me at everything, said it made me strong
Anything became fair game, even when he crossed the line
And stole the girl I liked, cause I walked her home one time

But we never mentioned love
GUYS don't like to talk about that much
It was all about the friendship
Getting good as good can get
We were proud of it & felt a lot of it
It just never came up
We never mentioned love


Last month he got all beat up in a nasty car crash
I prayed for him in silence and the memories flooded back
Maybe I shoulda been crying, but I couldn't help but laugh,
I said you get up offa your ass

But we never mentioned love
MEN don't like to say the words that much
It was all about the friendship
And getting good as good can get
We were proud of it & felt a lot of it
It just never came up
We never mentioned love
