Brother, Stay

from Follow Me by Montropo

supported by

rachaelpollard essential song by a fantastic band! I can't believe this song exists! Songwriter Andres Diaz makes it seem as though this song just always was around. Grammy material I swear. Amaze! folk sensibilities, this song should have been on the soundtrack for that movie The Royal Tennenbaums.

lyrics

Brother, stay
Don't turn away
Brother, stay
Don't turn away

You walk to your room
Holding everything you thought that you knew
And you lie to yourself
In the dark where no one else can see through you
And you say
Nothing good ever comes your way
Nothing real ever comes your way

And you live with a dream
something long lost father dying might have seen
Of a face and a stare and blinding light that left him with no cares
And he said
Nothing good ever came his way
Nothing real ever came his way

Brother, stay
Don't turn away
Brother, stay
Don't turn away

Now you hide from the light
And the ones you love you push them all aside
And your doubts they run deep
All the promises you made you could not keep
And you say
Nothing good ever comes your way
Nothing real ever comes your way
No,Nothing real ever comes your way

There's still time to rearrange
All the things you cannot change
Learn to live with all your pain
You can remain, All your pain
Here you can remain

Brother, stay
Don't turn away
Brother, stay
Don't turn away
