“Mother & Father” is the lead single from the sibling duo’s debut album, Evergreen.

[Verse 1]
The nights are getting shorter
I don't know where they go
And I am getting older
And it's starting to show
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And ever since I left my mother
It's much harder to know
How to make my own life here
How to make my own home
[Chorus]
I don't wanna wake up lonely
I don't wanna just be fine
I don't wanna keep on hoping
Forget what I have in mind
I don't wanna wake up lonely
I don't wanna just be fine
I don't wanna keep on hoping
Forget what I have in mind
Forget what I have in mind
[Verse 2]
I remember a time when a kiss on the hand was enough
'Cause we knew we were free and we knew what it meant to be loved
[Pre-Chorus 2]
But ever since I left my father
It's much harder to know
How to live my own life here
When all I need is home
[Chorus]
I don't wanna wake up lonely
I don't wanna just be fine
I don't wanna keep on hoping
Forget what I have in mind
I don't wanna wake up lonely
I don't wanna just be fine
I don't wanna keep on hoping
Forget what I have in mind
Forget what I have in mind
[Bridge]
As faces start to fade
They're slipping through my hands
It's where my heart was made
And my feet will always land
[Chorus]
I don't wanna wake up lonely
I don't wanna just be fine
I don't wanna keep on hoping
Forget what I have in mind
I don't wanna wake up lonely
I don't wanna just be fine
I don't wanna keep on hoping
Forget what I have in mind
Forget what I have in mind
[Outro]
I don't wanna wake up lonely
