lyrics

Dear, Older Brother
we've been playing in the sun
and though you're gone it still feels cold outside
We've piled the leaves up from the grass that turned from green to golden brown
theres' no more cumulus clouds in sight

Dear older brother
why don't you just come home
we've been waiting since we kicked you out
We never knew that it would hit you so hard
mom's been crying since you decided to leave town

I'm not making any promises (cause)
Life is a whole lot harder than you
made it out to be and
I'm not taking any books from your room
but if I do
but if I do
I'll give them back to you I swear

Yeah I swear, I swear,
I swear on my life that this is not the end

Dear older sister don't you worry, please dont cry
he had the choice to live or die and he made his
and don't feel threatened when we talk to you at night
to calm you down and dry those glossy brown eyes

Maybe we made the wrong choice, maybe we don't understand, maybe we went too far
Maybe we're the ones who should leave the Earth
It doesn't seem like we've done good for it so far

I'm not making any promises (cause)
The rain cloud above my head has
started a hurricane
and I'm not sweating any rain for you
but if I do
but if I do

You keep me wondering why
why-oh-why
did you think I tried to save you we both know
you tried to save me so come home
just come home
You know I tried to love you
you know we'll always love you yes we will

Oh it's still cold outside

We've piled the leaves up to the sky
I tried to reach you there again
so I could feel the warmth of your hand

Ooohh ohh Woahh
Ohh woah
Ohh woah
