Lyrics

[Verse 1] My brother taught me how to swim We treaded water underneath the ocean's skin And then he washed away my sins He held me closer as the tide was coming in [Chorus] But then why, what could I say? What would it mean? Cause then I, I'd give away All the love I need Just a child, always waiting All along he elevated He stayed put while I was wandering Gone so long he started wondering Why, I got lost [Verse 2] My brother taught me how to give He spreads his love until it stretches too thin Oh how I wanna be like him He takes away the weight before your heart caves in [Chorus] But then why, what could I say? What would it mean? Cause then I, I'd give away All the love I need Just a child, always waiting All along he elevated He stayed put while I was wandering Gone so long he started wondering Why, I got lost [Bridge] I got lost I got lost If I loved the way my brother loves (I got lost) None of it would have been like the way that it was [Chorus] But then why, what could I say? What would it mean? Cause then I, I'd give away All the love I need Just a child, always waiting All along he elevated He stayed put while I was wandering Gone so long he started wondering Why, I got lost
