Same lane

[Verse 1]
Twenty-five years ago, who'd have known,
Two mates would meet and make a home
In each other's lives, just mates back then,
Laughing and talking, again and again.
We made the kind of memories that somehow stay,
Even after life took us separate ways,
And somewhere along the way we became
Two best friends who never knew the game.

[Pre-Chorus]
Then life got busy, roads went different ways,
Years disappeared into different days,
Nearly twenty years, and then out of the blue,
One random Facebook message led me back to you.

[Chorus]
Oh Geezer, look at us now,
Who'd have fucking guessed we'd end up here somehow? 😂
From old friends to “I love you,”
From “we don't do that” to breaking every rule.
You go, I go, we're in the same lane,
No wrong turns, just finding each other again.
After all those years, somehow it's true,
I found my way back to you. ❤️

[Verse 2]
There was no grand plan, no master design,
Just two old friends reconnecting online,
Then one little message became something more,
And suddenly neither was sure anymore.
Three hours apart, which is bloody ridiculous,
But somehow the distance hasn't stopped any of this.
Fish and chips, curry sauce, crazy golf,
Sex Holidays™ — we're completely fucking lost. 😂

[Verse 3]
There's matching wolf jumpers, sliders that kiss,
Dirty little poems and all of this bliss,
“Wolves, not rabbits” — we still make no sense,
And somehow the stupidest jokes make the most sense.
There's Phone Laura causing trouble again,
Fun Ray appearing, then disappearing when
Serious Geezer remembers he's meant to be tough,
While Romance Boi quietly says, “I've had enough.” 😂

[Chorus]
Oh Geezer, look at us now,
Who'd have fucking guessed we'd end up here somehow? 😂
From old friends to “I love you,”
From “we don't do that” to breaking every rule.
You go, I go, we're in the same lane,
No wrong turns, just finding each other again.
After all those years, somehow it's true,
I found my way back to you. ❤️

[Verse 4]
We've talked absolute shit till the hours disappear,
Made each other laugh till we've got tears,
Held hands, cuddled, lay on the sofa,
And somehow made being ourselves feel closer.
We said we don't do soppy, don't do romance,
Don't do relationships, don't give love a chance,
Then somewhere between the laughter and fun,
We realised we'd already become one.

[Verse 5]
You said you wouldn't go up north for anyone,
Then somehow you came anyway, and that's when this begun.
Through all the miles and everything we've been through,
You kept showing me what words don't always do.
And somewhere between the chaos and the fun,
You quiet all the noise inside my head when the day is done.
You make the world feel softer somehow,
And I don't have to be anyone else when I'm with you now.

[Bridge]
And I know life isn't always easy,
You've got your work, your kids, your days,
I've got my life and all my own chaos,
But somehow we still find our way.
It isn't about giving everything up,
Or pretending that life won't get tough,
It's choosing each other, again and again,
Like we somehow found our best friend.
And when Serious Geezer starts overthinking,
When life gets loud and the confidence is shrinking,
I'll remind you of what we've already found:
Same lane. No wrong turns.
And you make me happy when you're around. ❤️

[Final Chorus]
Oh Sunshine, look at us now,
Twenty-five years later and we're laughing somehow.
From best mates to lovers, who saw that coming?
Two bloody idiots who thought they knew something. 😂
From wolves, not rabbits, to Phone Laura's schemes,
From Sex Holidays™ to ridiculous dreams,
Through every laugh, every kiss, every mile,
I'd find you again just to see that smile.
Because after all the years, after all we've been through,
Somehow my favourite place is still with you.
No matter the distance, whatever we do,
You go, I go.
Same lane.
Me and you. ❤️

[Outro]
So happy birthday, my Sunshine, my Geezer, my friend,
Here's to the story we never expected to begin.
Twenty-five years ago, we never could've known
That somehow, after everything…
I'd find my way back home. ❤️
And yes, before you get all fucking soppy…
Happy birthday, Romance Boi. 😂😘 x
