Verse 1:
give it all up
all the money was never enough
I love the chase
I love passing through just to get another taste
I want it all
open it up wide and empty myself out
nothing left
I can’t even take another step
Chorus:
and I still love them
even if they never thought of me as a brother
I just hope when
they look back on the others
they know I’m family in the end
Verse 2:
family is my bloodline
since we all share the same DNA
I see no difference in yours or mine
all my brothers and sisters I love them
even if they never call me on weekends
even if they look at me like a stranger
I’d still throw them the keys to the Rover
if they needed money I wouldn’t hesitate
a love like this is more than you can say
whatever promises you offer
don’t compare to what I gave
Chorus:
and I still love them
even if they never thought of me as a brother
I just hope when
they look back on the others
they know I’m family in the end
Verse 3:
follow the bloodprints
from the door to the kitchen
what I’m cookin’ isn’t fluent
but who is when they speakin’
all my friends came over yesterday
I showed them old photographs of us playin’
and they smiled and laughed
before pickin’ up their bags
and saying they needed to catch a flight
with a connection in London staying overnight
even though they’re leaving
they’ll always be with me
I can’t say the same for their feelings
Chorus (2x):
and I still love them
even if they never thought of me as a brother
I just hope when
they look back on the others
they know I’m family in the end
Standing Still Amidst The Chaos
