FareBrother Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe it's the way I would want to feel if I had nobody there on tap
But I've always got you
I'd emerge in the morning to see you in half my space
But I know that you need that, because it always comes back

Just tell me you're okay, because I've asked so many times
I'm embittered for your sake
Just help me and coincide

Don't shout. Keep it down
I know that you've been hanging around
Don't shout. Keep it down

An exchange on the way back, to stop you before your own emotions will kick back
Because you drive yourself mad

Just tell me you're okay, because I've asked so many times
I'm embittered for your sake
Just help me and coincide

Don't shout. Keep it down
I know that you've been hanging around
Don't shout. Keep it down

Don't shout. Keep it down
I know that you've been hanging around
Don't shout. Keep it down
I know

But it frustrates my mind, but my mind won't be honest
I've got nothing to lose; I've been told that I'm wanted
I hate when they get it the way, and they change our minds
As you sink in your seat as we drive through the silence, you make hast from the eyes that are subject to Violence and changing the weight of your name
But they can't rewind

Just tell me you're okay, because I've asked so many times

I'm embittered for your sake
Just help me and coincide

As you sink in your seat as we drive through the silence, you make hast from the eyes that are subject to Violence and changing the weight of your name
As we drive in silence, I can see that you're trying to avoid confrontation and judgments from others about who you are

But they can't rewind
Unfortunately, we can't go back in time and change what's happened
