I didn’t want any help I from him, I just wanted to take control
Now I know I failed to see that he gave me what I needed to grow
And oh how I tried to fight it, I know but I can't stop
I gave up too many times trying to tell I’m proud of him I know
So this is one's for him
Cause it was all for me
This ones for him cause I finally see
It was all for me
It’s like looking in a mirror, we're both stubborn and unruly to our souls
We’re laughing then we’re yelling, never still and always rolling like two stones
Oh we try to fight it, we always regret it, every time
If I could take back any moments when I hurt him bad I would, you know
So this is one's for him
Cause it was all for me
This ones for him and I finally see
It was all for me
They always tried to warn me “you’ve got him in you” and I’d think thank God
When I try to tell you that I love you I can’t find the words
So this is one's for you
Cause it was all for me
This ones for you cause I finally see
It was all for me
And all of life, you told me
That I could be anything I wanted to be
So this ones for you
Cause it was all for me
1 For Him
Given up, given in
Given all of me over the times
Little bit, every inch
The walls are closing in
I lost my mind
I know you know me better than I do
This sick lonely world feels better with you
So give it time
We’ll all be fine
Am I lying, lying, lying to myself?
To give it time
We’ll all be fine
Yeah I’m lying, lying, lying,
But I don’t care, I have to
Hold my own hand
Tired days all the same,
I start to feel symptoms I can’t fight
Copious loneliness I can only hold you
With my sight
Sick and wired milk expired
Turn off the news so we can
Dream about a day
Waking up knowing I get to hold you
From less than six feet away
I know you know me better than I do
This sick lonely world feels better with you
So give it time, we’ll all be fine
Am I lying, lying, lying to myself?
To give it time, we’ll all be fine
Yeah I’m lying, lying, lying,
But I don’t care, I have to
Hold my own hand
2 Hold My Own Hand
Shoulda been a dead man but he watched the sunrise
A mother always knows and a father can try
To save a lost soul my brother you’ll be fine
It’s been a hard year but I’m home for good this time
And I hope that you’ll hear me when I say that our blood river runs the same way
Rough waters but just keep on swimming the youngest daughter is always listening
Brother of mine
Take your time to grow up
I know right now feels like you’re never enough
But let the fools whisper, I can promise you this
Life ain’t worth missing, love your little sis
I’ll admit that I've been more than a phone call away
The distance made it’s easy to hide any pain
Only small hints as the voice quivers and shakes
It’s been a hard year but I’m home for good to stay
And I hope that you’ll hear me when I say that our blood river runs the same way
Rough waters but just keep on swimming the youngest daughter is always listening
Brother of mine
Take your time to grow up
I know right now feels like you’re never enough
But let the fools whisper, I can promise you this
Life ain’t worth missing, love your little sis
I’ve been called home
I can’t straighten the bend of your river
I don’t want to cause I love the way you roam
I’ve-been called home
I can’t swim you back to the shore, brother
Cause I’m in here sinking in the same boat
It’s amazing the steady flow of a stream
Even when thinned, that blood sure runs deep
Rough waters but just keep on swimming the youngest daughter is always listening
Brother of mine
Take your time to grow up
I know right now feels like you’re never enough
But let the fools whisper, I can promise you this
Life ain’t worth missing, love your little sis
5 Brother of Mine
4 Little Back House
I couldn't find a bigger Jacket if I tried and I did. Bundled head to floor I adore how he makes fun of it
Will I ever be warm again? The reverse of summer you forget the life you once lived
Being away from home the season's stolen. Somewhere along the way my spirit was broken
But he keeps me
Traditions some stay and some go so we made our own
Picked up some sticks from the yard for a cross and wrapped them in gold
Will I ever be warm again reaches in my pocket to hold my hand in his
Being away from home the season's stolen. Somewhere along the way my spirit was broken
But he keeps me
Warm
In that little back house. Plenty of love to go around
No firewood or place to burn so we'll cuddle up now
No mistletoe but don't we know we don't need it anyhow
I am home now
Do you want to keep me warm forever?
Do you? Cause you do.
Keep me
Warm
In that little back house. Plenty of love to go around
No firewood or place to burn so we'll cuddle up now
No mistletoe but don't we know we don't need it anyhow
I am home now in that little back house
On these days I imagine my mind having dark core rotten from the inside
Staring at a coffee table that I’ve cleaned twice
Just trying to pass the time by removing my stains
Is there any glory staying down here to hope for it? I don’t think there is
You’re the only reason I stay down here to consider it, so consider this a compliment
I need rest
When I’m gone
I think that’s when I’ll be the happiest
With the stars or the angels
Or whoever is waiting upstairs
Crave attention but refuse it at the same time
I want to be remembered for this past life
Never felt settled down here in my mind
I felt there was more to find and I’ve come to terms with that so
Is there any glory staying down here to hope for it? I don’t think there is
You’re the only reason I stay down here to consider it, so consider this a compliment
I need rest
When I’m gone
I think that’s when I’ll be the happiest
With the stars or the angels
Or whoever is waiting upstairs
I need rest
When I’m gone
I think that’s when I’ll be the happiest
With the stars or the angels
Or whoever is waiting upstairs
6 Upstairs
I’ve been so patient
I know you have too
Seems like every time
I turn around I’m stuck motionless
And let down by my anchor
Feels like every time I take off
In the right direction
ocean rises up
I’m a bad sailor
Lick my finger
How does it taste?
Being able to breathe
In that salty air on that open sea
How does it feel?
Knowing you’re going somewhere
Far away that you can’t even see.
How long would you wait?
Just floating and hopeless no birds and bees
Somebody please send me a breeze
I’ve been day dreaming
I hope you have too
I'll just keep my eyes on the horizon
I won’t bother looking out
On open water for a corner
Feels like I’m hanging on
For dear life at the helm
But the drop the “m” and add an “l”
I’m a bad sailor
Lick my finger
How does it taste?
Being able to breathe
In that salty air on that open sea
How does it feel?
Knowing you’re going somewhere
Far away that you can’t even see.
How long would you wait?
Just floating and hopeless no birds and bees
Somebody please send me a breeze
Send me a breeze
Send me a breeze
How does it taste?
Being able to breathe
In that salty air on that open sea
How does it feel?
Knowing you’re going somewhere
Far away that you can’t even see.
How long would you wait?
Just floating and hopeless no birds and bees
Somebody please send me a breeze
