Mother May I Lyrics

He's standing alone with his gun in his hand
Wondering why he's the man with the gun in his hand
Brother of mine please don't take this choice
Drop the gun and follow my voice

ohh
ohh

Is it just enough for you to breathe, I'm begging
Is it not enough to just have me whoa

He's standing alone with the gun in his hand
Why am I the man, why am I the man
Brother of mine take this away I'm sick of this life of pain

ohh
ohh

Is it just enough for you to breathe, I'm begging
Is it not enough to just have me whoa
Is it just enough for you to be, I'm trying
To be the person that you need please dont pull the

(clearing throat)

He;s dead on the floor with his gun in his hand
Why was he the man, why was he the man

Is it just enought for you to breathe, I'm begging
It's not enough to be just me whoa
Is it just enough for you to breathe, I'm begging
Is it not enough to just have me whoa
Is it just enough for you to be, I'm trying
And where I go you will follow

Wow! So yea, these guys had a hard time getting their name! Geeze.. Eatmewhileimhot to Mister Owl, then back to Eatmewhileimhot! All cause of stupid Owl City..like wtf! Whatever! This songs amazing I think its about maybe one of christophers brothers trying to commit suicide, and chris is saying "Is it just enough for you to breathe, I'm begging Is it not enough to just have me whoa Is it just enough for you to be, I'm trying To be the person that you need" Chris is trying to be there for him. The end of the song "where I go you will follow" makes me think its a younger brother hes talking about. Just my input..

yeah i heard it was about one of his bros killing them selves

I think that this son means the singer speaking to one of his friends whos trying to commit suicide. them talking back in forth. like, the singer saying, "Is it just enough for you to breathe, I'm begging Is it not enough to just have me whoa Is it just enough for you to be?" then the friend Saying back,"im trying" even though there was only one singer. :3 thats just what it means to me

All of you are wrong. It';s about his older brother who killed himself. Do your research before making yourself look like a complete idiot(:
