Brother, Sister

(album: Echosmith - 2023)

Brother, I am in the corner
Wondering what it's supposed to mean
I'm not sure if I even know her
The girl I used to be
I showed you the side of me that's terrified
Even my closest friends don't see
Just kids on a cul-de-sac in the suburbs
It was okay to make believe

Sister, we were in the corner
While they were drunk and dancing on
We were sober 'bout the future
Wondering how it all went wrong
We made a pact when we were little
We wouldn't leave each other alone
When I was scared to start that new school
My only friend helped me belong

I'm here
Don't you disappear
I'm here
Don't you disappear

Brother, I'm scared of getting older
The innocence of youth is gone
Another mirror, another reminder
That I'm farther and farther from home
But brother, I am here with you
Even a hundred miles away
'Cause the blood we share is thicker
Than the shadows we both face

I'm here
The shadows are fading away
I'm here
They're fading away

Sister, I'm not good at showing
That I'm panicked and I'm stuck
I use my phone like it's a drug
Another hit to pick me up
I know I'm hiding from the feeling
That I'll scared I'll never know
What's inside the walls I'm building
'Cause I fear it's got a home

I'm here
Don't you disappear
I'm here
Don't you disappear
