Way, Gerard - Brother Lyrics






Does anyone have the time to bring me down?
And can I sleep all night long to the drums of the city rain?
Just make it up
'Cause I'm awake all night long to the drums of the city rain

And brother if you have the chance to pick me up?
And can I sleep on your couch to the pound of the ache and pain?
Oh, in my head 'cause I'm awake all night long to the drums of the city rain

The lights we chase
The nights we steal
The things that we take
To make us feel this
I can't go back
Don't think I will
I won't sleep tonight as long as I still
Hear the drums of the city rain

Does anyone have the guts to shut me up?
'Cause I believe that every night
There's a chance we can walk away
So hold on tight
Because I won't wait too long in the drums of the beating rain

'Cause the nights don't last
And we leave alone
Will you drive me back?
Can you take me home?

The lights we chase
The nights we steal
The things that we take
To make us feel this
I can't go back
I don't think I will
I won't sleep tonight as long as I still
Hear the drums of the city rain

Faces I don't know
I am tired in the glow
Of the freezing club
Keep me breathing don't make the lights come back
Can you take me home?
We all need this when we leave alone

Remember when you and I would make things up?
So many nights, just take me down to the place we could hear them play
I miss that sound
'Cause now we don't sing so loud
To the drums of the city rain

The lights we chase
The nights we steal
The things that we take
To make us feel this
I can't go back
I don't think I will
I won't sleep tonight as long as I still
Hear the drums of the city rain

Like strangers laugh and like subways feel
Things I'm trying to break
Oh, just wait until this is all we have to keep us ill
I won't breathe tonight as long as I still hear the drums of the city rain

  1. C.... C....

  7. A.... D....

    I'm crying this hurts more than a million g notes,

  8. A.... i....

    This song made me think. I would HATE to lose my baby brother. He is only 3 and I love him. If I lost him, i dont know what I would do.

  9. i.... n....

    i don’t know if anyone’s here after two years, but.. i promise you living is worth it. good things are yet to come. i promise. i absolutely promise. if you are looking for a sign, this is it. keep on living. one day, when things are okay, i hope you remember this comment. you’ll be glad you kept living. i promise.

  10. T.... S....

    this reminds me of my brother ;_;

  11. T.... M....

    "I can't go back" definitely was not talking about MCR then!

  12. n.... ;....

    i just want to hear his voice forever

  13. M.... L....

    It's just weird when he sings this song live better than the studio one

  14. N.... c....

    I miss you Man, i told you that wasn't the Solution but you did It anyway. I love you and miss you so much brother :"( this was your favorite song and mine too.....i wish to see you again.

  15. K.... F....

    This song can make me cry anytime . I was taken aback by it because I am viewing your lyric videos playlist. So my heart just sunk and I went oh noooo. 😢😢😢 But I love it so much at the same time.

  16. G.... ....

    I had to come to the lyrics cus I thought I heard
    "Remember when you and I would make out"
    Not
    "Remember when you and I would make things up"






    Dear God
    Help
    Don't cap me
    Edit: When you didn't know what "cap" meant because you were stuck in 2006

  17. b.... ....

    i miss my brother so much.. he’s somewhere out there... still guarding his little sister.

  18. G.... ....

    Brother-"and can I sleep on your couch"

    The sharpest lives- "If I crash on the couch can I sleep in my clothes"





    Mcr never left people

  19. P.... F....

    This makes me so happy and so sad because I always wished my brother would say this to me but it makes me happy because the relationship Gerard and Mikey Have is truly spectacular🖤

  20. i.... 3....

    The dislikes are the only children or the people who can't hear the beginning

  21. V.... U....

    Juro que cada vez que escucho las primeras notas de la canción, me duele el pecho.

  22. C.... ....

    mikey's still alive right? RIGHT?

    C.... ....

    @Gabriella Jamieson aaa i got worried... ;-; I'm a dumbass

  23. h.... m....

    THE BEGINNING WHYY

  24. c.... w....

    Also, I'mma go listen to the gummy bear song now.

  25. A.... ....

    can yll belive that bob made 27 hate accounts to dislike this video smh

  26. c.... w....

    I'm listening to this with my homework in front of me. Guess I'm gonna have to hand in a soggy paper tomorrow.

  27. b.... ....

    I had to go and check mikey isn’t dead

    b.... ....

    Thank GOD-

  28. J.... O....

    I love this song and Gerard way he is sooooo cute😘❤️❤️❤️💕

  29. A.... M....

    This song makes me nostalgic for something I never experienced

  30. D.... M....

    I love this song... It sounds really asthetic and it takes me back to a simpler time when things were all good. But to me, this song is kinda about Llving in reality, because the lyrics is like the dream past/kid world and the background about Mikey is the actual reality years after and there is no more of the dream/kid world.

  31. a.... ....

    ow fuck my chest hurts thanks for this beauty

  32. K.... B....

    I will murder whoever disliked this song.

  33. D.... D....

    Its 2019
    7 years passed killjoys
    Its okay
    It ll be okay
    We are not o-fucking-kay but we will be
    We wont be afraid to keep on living and walk this world alone
    We will carry on
    And MIKEY WONT DIE

  34. J.... z....

    Cant hear other shit other than
    Kid: -Mikey?
    Man: listen, he killed himself.
    _recording of_ *_THAT_* _conversation stutters_

  35. I.... S....

    BRÖTHER :(

  36. D.... t....

    everyone has a fucking sob story, may as well join the crowd, right?

    my older brother's dead, the other two older "siblings" are fucking dead to me. but fuck man.

    when i was little my older brother showed my younger one and i a song by twisted sister. my younger brother and i just liked the music video honestly, it had somebody get thrown threw a window, and we found it hilarious. i miss the days when the three of us watched it and had fun singing and reenacting it, laughing and having fun. i miss the days that we ate candy together and just be fucking kids.

    now hes dead, im suicidal as shit, and my younger brother just kinda. ignores me.

    god where does time go.

  37. s.... d....

    Thanks Gee, im cryin

  38. l.... ....

    This is song is so powerful.

  39. M.... D....

    where do i get these photos

  40. E.... K....

    I read somewhere that Gee wrote this song while sitting at Mikey's bedside in the hospital when he was in a coma because he overdosed on drugs. They didn't know if Mikey would live. He was in a coma for about three days -- I could be wrong though, I don't know exactly how long -- and because nobody, not Gee or even the doctors, knew if Mikey would live, which -- I think -- I inspiration for the opening conversation behind the music- - _Where is he, where's Mikey? …. Calm down, honey, it will be okay … Where is he? Where is Mikey? … It will be okay, I promise it will be okay. I need to tell you something … Where is Mikey? Where is my baby brother? … He killed himself._ -- So, yeah. I think that makes this song, like, twenty times sadder. I love Mikey and Gee so much it probably isn't healthy. So if you don't mind, excuse me whilst I sob.

  41. K.... ....

    This song will always be like a razor scooter to the ankle, no matter how many times I hear it

  42. J.... T....

    This is kind of sad. I know how much Gerard and Mikey love each other. I'm the same with all 11 of my sibling. I love them. I've tried suicide. But they had the power to save me. Siblings are my MCR since they're gone now. Both are gone. If you have siblings, God bless you. If you don't, God bless you too. It's not your fault, and hang in there. Cause we are all siblings

    J.... T....

    Thank you♡ and God bless you too. Be strong♡

  43. F.... ....

    I sing this song to my sister :)

  44. D.... S....

    I'm reading the comments and all I see is "1 year ago," Or "2 years ago" And I'm here in 2019 listening to this song still freaking crying T^T

  45. H.... &....

    One sec... I’m late, did Mikey actually kill himself? 😭

    H.... &....

    ava is a mess no...

  46. L.... B....

    this hurts more than the g note... oh god

  47. y.... ....

    Well -fuck me gently with a chainsaw- You might as well hit me with the bullet that hit Mikey in The Ghost Of You

  48. d.... ....

    I remember my friend said suicide was selfish. She thought that if you really thought that much about yourself, you were selfish.
    I learned she's rather toxic, to say the least.

    d.... ....

    i can see her point to a degree. suicide can be selfish but not because of that. suicide is selfish because it just spreads your pain to somebody else if you havent already shut everybody out.

  49. K.... K....

    This song stabs me right into the feels.

  50. s.... ....

    A g-note would hurt less

  51. M.... ....

    thank you my chemical romance, you lessen my pain and sadness.

  52. A.... F....

    I can't stop crying 😥 love this song

    A.... F....

    same vro

  53. G.... n....

    Why do none of them include the beginning ughhh

  54. T.... M....

    *sobs in emo*

  55. T.... B....

    It’s only March 22nd, I didn’t need to cry more

  56. a.... ....

    This song makes me feel nostalgic about memories I don't own

  57. m.... v....

    at the end you can hear “mikey? mikey? please don’t go” ;)

  58. T.... k....

    Both My brother and I tried to die
    I’m still suicidal to this day and while he’s alive he’s not the same
    I live for him

    Sometimes he’s my only reason to stay

    I’m glad I found this song

  59. i.... i....

    So rumor has it that this was first written when Mikey was first admitted to the hospital. Imagine Mikey hearing this song for the first time... that must have been a trip.

  60. s.... t....

    which 24 motherfuckers disliked this

    s.... t....

    i . . . your profile picture is beautiful

  61. M.... D....

    What does he say at the begining?

    M.... D....

    Gerard: Where is he? Where's Mikey?
    Operator: Calm down, honey. It will be okay
    Gerard: Where is he? Where is my baby brother?
    Operator: It will be okay, I promise. I need to tell you something--
    Gerard: Will he be okay? Mikey? Where's Mikey?
    Operator: He killed himself.

  62. C.... E....

    Just had to tell a lot of my friends that I couldn’t continue being friends with them cause I didn’t want to damage their mental health or hurt them like I do myself, one of the hardest messages I’ve ever had to send. This song helps so fucking much can we just appreciate that, thanks g.

  63. L.... H....

    I can’t hear the beginning because I’m just scared to listen. I don’t about you but it just give me anxious if it’ll bring me back those memories

  64. N.... ....

    I can't hear anything of the dialogue you're all talking about

  65. S.... S....

    This hurts as much as the g note and that says A LOT

  66. g.... g....

    *cries in cries*

  67. a.... ....

    THIS SONG IS SO GOOD

  68. a.... ....

    His voice.. oh my god

  69. Q.... ....

    Why is this making me tear up the hell

  70. V.... I....

    *cries in extra emo*

  71. U.... S....

    My sister left for college overseas a few months ago. I couldn't stop crying. I got over her and stopped crying. I missed her still. A few days ago she shipped me a panic! shirt for my birthday because she couldn't be there. This song makes me want to hug my sister. But guess what?


    She's not here.

  72. s.... a....

    THIS IS THE MOST PAINFUL THING I HAVE EXPERIENCED and I have felt a lot of pain and this HURTS.

  73. R.... U....

    This is a good song. .

  74. D.... C....

    I hate to say it, but I miss you Charme.

  75. k.... w....

    knowing the meaning from this song and my emotional state right now this makes me cry.and you can hear the sadness in his voice.

  76. m.... G....

    I'm so sad always

  77. m.... G....

    Why is every one say Gerard and the operator

    m.... G....

    The voices at the start is Gerard on the phone to the operator (on the phone) at hospital

  78. a.... p....

    *i wish i had someone who cared this much about me*

    a.... p....

    I can be that someone :)

  79. P.... ;....

    I dunno if this has anything to do with anything, but do the "drums of the city" relate to Welcome To The Black Parade when his father took him into the city to see a marching band?.. or am I completely wrong..?

  80. k.... ;....

    My cat is on her way to get put down today and I'm listening to this. Nothing has ever been harder than watching my mom carry her into the car and realizing I'll never see her again

  81. p.... ....

    SOBS INTENSELY
    C'mere my wonderful brother children

  82. R.... Z....

    I wanna sing this in front of my friends.

    R.... Z....

    Raymond Zacchaeus Arias me too it's hard to put things in words... sometimes you just gotta send a link to a song on youtube

  83. V.... S....

    "The things we take to make us feel."
    "I cant go back, I don't think I will."
    Fan Theory- Is he singing about when he got really heavy into drinking and drugs?

    V.... S....

    Possibly, but this song is about his brother's suicide attempt. So it could possibly be from Mikey' s perspective.

  84. F.... T....

    This is first time I clearly heard “where’s Mikey?” “He killed himself” I’m crying sm

  85. N.... R....

    Nice song for missing old friendships gone bad

  86. S.... ....

    Long story short
    This song made me meet my bestfriend

  87. A.... V....

    Why am I crying to this???

  88. T.... O....

    For some reason, I had a dream that Gerard Way died. I woke up terribly confused.

  89. I.... h....

    Woo😫

  90. A.... S....

    This makes me wanna cry bc this song talks about letting go of the past and breathing in the night u have u can tell when he wrote this he realized how great fun he was to breathe that air with people who cared AH

  91. G.... E....

    Fuck. I can relate to this song too much. I lost my brother to suicide. He overdosed. I shouldn’t listen to this it’s unhealthy

    G.... E....

    me saying this wont make it easier, but you arent alone. it wont get any easier, in fact itll probably get harder. some days will be better. others will make you wanna do unholy things to be whole again. i wish you luck.

  92. E.... ?....

    I miss my brother tbh

  93. T.... B....

    If you like this song you'd also like Cigarette Daydreams by Cage the Elephant

    T.... B....

    Taylor Britt omg yes

  94. S.... ....

    Im probably half the views


    Oops

  95. R.... D....

    Gerard: Mikey? Where’s my baby brother?!
    Operator: He killed himself....

    And in the distance you can here 129737474744839392982 killjoys crying...

  96. F.... ....

    Cool someone who isn’t from 3 years ago.

  97. J.... M....

    When we were younger my brother and I didn't have a good relationship but I always tried to make him proud. We're a bit older now and I still try to impress him. I fucking love that man
