Brand New Brothers Lyrics

Brothers Lyrics

So the air's getting colder

And the news keeps us scared

We still
wrestle this summer

From the bones of our tired and blistered hands

'Cause tonight we got drinks

And just a couple of friends

And the
girl that my brother likes is finally talking to him

And his chest is all
swelled like he's proud and happy

Like he's got a great idea

Like
he's making a memory

Wake up and come out to the car

There's an
east swell coming

And it's howling off shore and we'll be

Lying
like lions out in the sands

But I'll be dead before you put a gun in my
brother's hands

So we make jokes back at home

And we lighten the
mood

But growing up my parents saw

What sending a kid to fight can
really do

Now with the war I can tell they're a little shook up

'Cause just a few mother's sons will never really be enough

Not 'til
half of our names are etched out in a wall

And the other half ruined from
the things we saw

Wake up and come out to the car

There's an east
swell coming

And it's howling off shore and we'll be

Lying like
lions out in the sands

But I'll be dead before you put a gun in my
brother's hands

Wake up and come out to the car

There's an east
swell coming

And it's howling off shore and we'll be

Lying like
lions out in the sands

But I'll be dead before you put a gun in my
brother's hands
