[Verse 1]
Some days
I won't get out of bed
Let air-conditioned thoughts inside my head
Like I don't know myself
And I build up a fence
Push away the things that once made sense
And I won't want your help
All alone on the step
Waiting for the gates to open up

[Chorus]
Oh brother; brother's keeper
I'll follow will you lead us?
Oh sister; mother's daughter
I wonder, will you preach?
Will I learn to get better?

[Verse 2]
Sometimes
I just stare into space
Watch through all the film of my mistakes
I just can't help myself
All alone on the step
Waiting for the gates to open up

[Chorus]
Oh brother; brother's keeper
I'll follow will you lead us?
Oh sister; mother's daughter
I wonder, will you preach?
Will I learn to get better?

[Post-Chorus]
One day
I will climb down the step
Just give me one good reason to pretend

[Chorus]
Oh brother; brother's keeper
I'll follow will you lead us?
Oh sister; mother's daughter
I wonder, will you preach?
Will I learn to get better?
