In the latter half of december
Pressure builds from all reflection on the prior year
On this prior year, yes it was such a great year
Sidewalks fill till congestion starts to spill
Out onto the steam rising off of lexington
A broken promise is on display for a disconnected family
To reestablish a blood relation
Through wine and drunken conversations
Without this would there be
Oh anything at all (4x)
My brothers age exceeds mine by several years
But when he's here the years disinegrate
Watch them disappear
Just watch the road and I'll help steer
Cause our luck, mistakes and misfortunes
Without them would there be
A place for these children to lead
A way out of war torn country
Will they see
Anything at all
Oh anything at all
Parents they will brace this fall
Soon enough they seem to call
Mother's crying "everythings gone wrong"
You see everythings gone wrong
You see everythings gone wrong
Just call your brother, give him love
The broken pieces we will sew
Broken promise on display, disconnected family
If not this would there be, would there be reason to celebrate?
Would there be reason, reason at all?
And on this holiday I beg and pray
For you to shield me a conversation
Holding hands underneath all the flashing decorations
Put everything aside for now.
Let's just relive our love tonight
If not for eachother, then for my parents sake
On this holiday I beg and pray
For you to shield me a conversation
Holding hands underneath all the flashing decorations
And put everything aside for now.
Let's just relive our love tonight
If not for eachother, then for my parents sake
