lyrics

Family

Brother, it’s been awhile since I’ve called you, since you have called me
What have we come to
Sister, why do you cry, you don’t have to if you don’t want to this time no

Mother, your chin’s held high, but that’s only to keep from folding
What are you holding
Father, you’re looking tired, but that’s okay you can let go your pride

I’m wise beyond my years
I’m years from being wise
You say it’s all my fault
I’d say you’re telling lies but

Maybe we can do this together
(I’ve got this feeling, it has me reeling, I had this feeling I’ve been holding to forever)
Maybe we can do this together
(I’ve got this feeling we can do this together)

Brother, I bet you’ve tried to hold onto what I held onto
Is that what haunts you
Sister, I’ve seen you smile when you want to, let’s make a choice to this time

I’m wise beyond my years
I’m years from being wise
You say I’m being hard
I’d say you’re slipping by but

(chorus)

I’ve been waiting on you, you’ve been waiting for me too
I’ll keep waiting on you, you keep waiting for me too

I’m wet behind the ears
But I’m not drying any tears
There’s storms we have to weather
But we’re bound and we’re tethered

(chorus)
