Brothers Lyrics
If you cut your hand
I'm gonna cut mine
And then when we shake 'em
We'll be the same color and type
You're smiling at me
You put down the knife
You say it's not time yet, instead
Let's go walking outside
Don't give up
Don't you quit on me
Don't give up
Don't you quit on me
I'm still a boy
But you're not the same
My skin still looks see-through
And I feel underneath like a fake
You're smiling again
You show me a blade
You say in that tree house
That all I had wrong was a date
Don't give up
Don't you quit on me
Don't give up
Don't you quit on me
I'm gonna cut mine
And then when we shake 'em
We'll be the same color and type
You're smiling at me
You put down the knife
You say it's not time yet, instead
Let's go walking outside
Don't give up
Don't you quit on me
Don't give up
Don't you quit on me
I'm still a boy
But you're not the same
My skin still looks see-through
And I feel underneath like a fake
You're smiling again
You show me a blade
You say in that tree house
That all I had wrong was a date
Don't give up
Don't you quit on me
Don't give up
Don't you quit on me
And if hope keeps you young and wild
Then if you please
I'd like to die as a child
Don't give up
Don't you quit on me
Don't give up
Don't you quit on me
Don't give up
Don't you quit on me
Don't give up
Don't you quit on me
Then if you please
I'd like to die as a child
Don't give up
Don't you quit on me
Don't give up
Don't you quit on me
Don't give up
Don't you quit on me
Don't give up
Don't you quit on me
About
Genius Annotation
The second track on Penny & Sparrow’s debut album Tenboom, “Brothers” is comprised of three simple chords sliding up and down the neck of a guitar. The lyrics seem to indicate a bond between two people: one, who seems more naive and hopeful, and another, who is weary and weighed-down, though looked up to by the former. The story the song tells is one of trust and connection.
