It’s been so great to see you but I got too much on the brain
Don’t you know that I’ll be smiling when you come back around again
Now I can handle a lot of pressure though I can get a little stressed
Thank the stars for your friendship for when I’m not at my best
Oh brother, you do it to yourself
Yeah sister, it’s dragging you through hell
Hey brother, the thoughts are in your head
Hey sister, you do it to yourself
Standing in the line at the airport when the cel phone starts to ring
It’s the friend with the family, and the grip on everything
Says he wonders in these moments how he’s gonna make the turn
As I’m listening and reflecting I remember what I’ve learned
Oh brother, you do it to yourself
Yeah sister, it’s dragging you through hell
Hey brother, the thoughts are in your head
Hey sister, you do it to yourself
Now now now… see you gone and done it again
Whoa whoa whoa… letting all the bad vibes in
Now now now… see you gone and done it again
Whoa whoa whoa… letting all the bad vibes in
A hundred thoughts and calculations twinkle round me every night
Just for seeing them so clearly I start to wonder if I might
Find a way to float the figures so I can let go of the score
And release the over-thinking, get back into living more
Oh brother, you do it to yourself
Yeah sister, it’s dragging you through hell
Hey brother, the thoughts are in your head
Hey sister, you do it to yourself
Oh brother, you do it to yourself
Yeah sister, it’s dragging you through hell
Hey brother, the thoughts are in your head
Hey sister, you do it to yourself
