I know it’s been a couple seasons too long Since you last seen the leaves turning green Waitin’ for a change in the ozone Standin’ on the edge of eternity The storm is only temporary though I can tell you that without a weather man You don’t need a permanent solution There’s too many of us that’ll hold your hand
[Hook] Woa, brother you don’t have to go Woa, brother you don’t have to go
[Verse 2] The world is spinning ‘round on account it burns Against the way the hand on a clock turns Strugglin’ to find why to coexist Reachin’ out to time that isn’t relative I wish you realized how much you mean To everyone around you that you cannot see Blinded by the flash of society Sometimes it’s hard to find the focus that you need
[Hook] Woa, brother you don’t have to go Woa, brother you don’t have to go Woa, brother you don’t have to go Woa, brother you don’t –
[Verse 3] It makes me sick when I think that One second goes by and you feel trapped Stuck hidden inside what you built up Anyone would grab your hand if you reached back Think about all the lives you affected Touched on someone else and their blessings Made someone else laugh with a message Changed somebody’s day for the best of Think about all the people that love you There’s always someone there you can run to Always someone on the road that’ll guide you Closer than they appear in the rearview And sometimes see through I know it’s tough tryin’ to stay connected When everyone’s so damn neglecting Like fuck the others, fuck the world How dare you disrespect me And I know it’s just not possible To understand about another man’s pain Are you selfish for wanting to leave? Or am I for wanting you to stay? I know it looks like a dead end With no sign of revenge But I know if you keep those legs goin’ You’ll tread the water in the deep end Just enough so your head breathes Just enough so your eyes see All those on dry land that are reaching out for you desperately You think time ran out and you had enough But think about what you do when you’re leavin’ us You’re takin’ our lives with you brother Maybe we need you more than you need us
[Hook] Woa, brother you don’t have to go Woa, brother you don’t have to go Woa, brother you don’t have to go Woa, brother you don’t have to go
Brother you don’t Brother you don’t Brother you don’t Brother you don’t have to go
