Joia - Brothers

You’ve touched the sky, so now the grass cuts like a thousand knives.
Like wolves we’ll cry, our arms are crutches in the best and worst of times.

You’ll scrape your knees over and over and over.

Every time she says goodbye, you’re falling again, falling again.
Every time she walks on by, you’re stalling again, stalling again.

Don’t waste your time, your years are tender but they’ve learnt to fly.
Just cut all ties, we’ll stop the oceans when they try to fill your eyes.

You’ll grind your teeth over and over and over.

Every time she says goodbye, you’re falling again, falling again.
Every time she walks on by, you’re stalling again, stalling again.

You laugh, but cry before the joke ends.
You sleep, but dream of letters to send.
Cos you could see past this but she couldn’t.
