Long Lost Brother Meaning

[I thought that we’d be
Further along by now
I can’t remember how
We stumbled to this place

I loved you like a long lost brother
On a bad day maybe I thought why bother
I’ve seldom seen so much anger
In a face

I wanna do better
I wanna try harder
I wanna believe
Down to the letter

Jesus and Mary
Can you carry us
Across this ocean
Into the arms of forgiveness

I don’t mean to laugh out loud
I’m trying to come clean
Trying to shed my doubt
Maybe I should just keep
My big mouth shut
, More often than not
When it comes to you
You want whatever’s not in front of you
Deep down I know this includes me too

I wanna do better
I wanna try harder
I wanna believe
Down to the letter

Jesus and Mary
Can you carry us
Across this ocean
Into the arms of forgiveness

So tell me your troubles
Let your pain rain down
I know my job I’ve been around
I invest in the mess
I’m a low cost dumping ground

Trouble is I’m so exhausted
The plot, you see, I think I’ve lost it
I need the grace to find what can’t be found

I wanna do better
I wanna try harder
I wanna believe
Down to the letter
, Jesus and Mary
Can you carry us
Across this ocean
Into the arms of forgiveness

Jesus and Mary
Come and carry us
Across this ocean
Into the arms of forgiveness]
