[Verse 1]

You were the only one of us with no addiction gene

We were never really friends, I was turning eighteen

One day, you wake up and realize they're not funny, they're mean

And it changed things

[Verse 2]

You were running up on Sunset, selling your drugs

We were laughing in the kitchen and pissing mom off

I was lying over nothing, you were honest to a fault

And it changed things

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't wanna talk for you

You've lived enough for the two of us

Oh, but when I talk to you

I can't help thinking about how good it was

[Verse 3]

Mom knew it would happen before it did

And she warned us once, we weren't listening

And the mantle came down, and we ran down the street

When I left there in August and it changed things

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't wanna talk for you

You've hurt enough for the two of us

When I talk to you

I just hear sleeping bags and you choking up

[Chorus]

I have this dream where I am back at the old house

And I am running upstairs, and I am getting you out

You were ten years old, and I put you on my back

With a birthday bag

[Verse 4]

You're saving up your money to see me now

And I hid it well, but you found me out

You were going through my dressers and screaming at me

I started laughing at you and then

[Bridge]

I don't get to talk for you

You've said enough for the two of us

Oh, but when I talk to you

You stand on all the things that I forgot

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge, cont.]

Cold street, cold lawn

Cold door, open

I found you upstairs just laughing

Warm room, cold mom

You talk, I draw

I'm not doing well

You know, you help

[Chorus]

I have this dream where I am back at the old house

And I am running up those stairs, I am getting you out

You are ten years old, and I put you on my back

With a birthday bag

[Verse 5]

I feel it when I'm talking and you punch my arm

And I'm never gonna make it past the Braddicks' lawn

I don't know where I'm going

But I know that I think it might, it might

Change things
