Brother
Gerard Way Lyrics

Does anyone have the time to bring me down?
Can anyone spare a moment to help me feel low?

And can I sleep all night long To the drums of the city rain? Just make it up 'Cause I'm awake all night long To the drums of the city rain
Is it possible to sleep while listening to the rhythmic sounds of the city rain? I'm having trouble sleeping, so just tell me if it's possible.

And brother, if you have the chance to pick me up And can I sleep on your couch To the pound of the ache and pain? Oh, in my head 'Cause I'm awake all night long To the drums of the city rain
If you have the opportunity, can you please come and pick me up? I'll keep hearing the sound of the city rain in my head, so I'm wondering if I can come to your place and sleep there to the beat of the pain and ache.

The lights we chase The nights we steal The things that we take to make us feel this (To the drums of the city rain)
We try to distract ourselves by chasing lights, stealing the night, and taking things that make us feel alive. All this is done while listening to the rain drumming on the city.

I can't go back (oh, in my head) Don't think I will I won't sleep tonight as long as I still ('cause I'm awake all night long) Hear the drums of the city rain
I can't go back to the way things were before. I will not fall asleep for as long as I can still hear the sound of the rain hitting the city.

Does anyone have the guts to shut me up? 'Cause I believe that every night There's a chance we can walk away So hold on tight Because I won't wait too long In the drums of the beating rain
Does anyone have the courage to stop me from talking? Every night presents an opportunity for us to leave our troubles behind, and we should hold on tight to these moments. I won't wait too long while the drums of the beating rain play on.

'Cause the nights don't last And we leave alone Will you drive me back? Can you take me home? (To the drums of the city rain)
The nights are fleeting, and we eventually have to leave on our own. Can you drive me back and take me home while the city rain continues playing?

Faces I don't know I am tired in the glow Of the freezing glow (all night lone) Keep me breathing (yeah, yeah, yeah) Don't make the lights come back Can you take me home? We all need this (all night long) When we leave alone
I see unfamiliar faces around me, and I'm tired from being in the freezing glow of the city. Please keep me breathing, and let's leave the lights turned off. Can you take me back home, and remember, we all need this when we leave alone.

Remember when you and I would make things up? So many nights, just take me down To the place we would hear them play Well, I miss that sound 'Cause now we don't sing so loud To the drums of the city rain
Do you recall the times when we used to imagine things? Those countless nights where you took me to the spot where we could hear music playing. Well, I miss that sound, and now we don't sing so loudly anymore because of the city rain.

Like strangers laugh And like subways feel (yeah, yeah, yeah) Things I'm trying to break (oh, yeah, yeah) Oh, just wait until this (to the drums of the city rain) Is all we have (oh, in my head) To keep us ill I won't breathe tonight as long as I still ('cause I'm awake all night long) Hear the drums of the city rain
Laughter from strangers and the feel of the subways are things that annoy me. I'm trying to break from these, but wait until the time comes when all we have is the sound of the city rain; it will keep us feeling low. I won't even breathe until I'm still awake hearing the drums of the city rain.
