Alec Gaston - Brothers Lyrics

Taking in the world for the first time over your shoulder
Now that we're older, the shoulders grow colder
Am I supposed to keep diggin in, reaching for a sense of semblance
Or would you resent my intentions?
Withdraw again pretending... the innocence has long since ended
And we don't have to be friends but can't we pickup the phone
And let each other know we're not alone? not alone... not alone

Once in a while I forget about the music you showed me
The movies that mold me, the stories you told me
And maybe cuz now all I've found is sitting around
Looking down, acting out and drinking loud
I wonder how we could come together now
Find something to treasure now
Let the past take a life raft back to we where we came from, far away from we made one

That's all I can take
That's all I can take
Swimmin in your medicine but you never let me in
That's all I can take
Let's forget about that for now
That's all I can take
Swimmin in your medicine, Nigga gonna let me in

Shootin from the hip but you're aimin for the heart
Right back to where we started, too soon departin'
You never nod your head, not unless it means no
And you only do blow when you get a promotion

I million miles an hour, heading towards a blackhole of our past
Let's just get blasted and take a nap yeah
Maybe one day we can put it all behind us
Light up a blig spliff and watch the sunrise beside us

That's all I can take
That's all I can take
Swimmin in your medicine but you never let me in
That's all I can take
Let's forget about that for now
That's all I can take
26 Years apart we've been living in the dark

Let's forget about that for now

Why'd you never tell me, tell me that you love me?
When I know you do
Why'd you never tell me, tell me that you love me?
When I know you do
Why'd you never tell me, tell me that you love me?
