[Verse 1] (0:23)

Climbing up a ladder to the rooftop

I'm overlooking everyone

Smiles all around, party's going on

Remember watching my dad on the front lawn

He'd be working on building all night long

Somewhere for me and my sister to belong

I didn't leave that tree until dawn

Just me and my sister all lifelong

[Pre-Chorus] (0:45)

One day we're in the car on a road-trip

Leaving that treehouse just for a moment

I was sad, but it wasn't all wrong

Still with family, where I belong

[Break] (0:57)

Then a crash, and then she went through

I hope you passed knowing I loved you

Now I'm stuck in this torturous limbo

But I see you from through the window

[Hook] (1:09)

Now I'm stuck in this empty treehouse

Knocking the ladder out from below

I don't ever want to come back down

This is where we were last safe and sound

After we left is when you passed on

After we left is when it all went wrong

I don't want to be the one that's next

It might be stupid, but I won't take the risk

[Verse 2] (1:32)

Getting hungry, I'm getting reckless

Calling my name for days is my parents

I'm thinking of what you would've done

So I look back down, wait t'ill there's no-one

I start to try to come down

The ladder snaps, I fall to the ground

Felt like I was asleep for awhile

I woke up, some things look hostile

I don't recognize where I was

But then I looked up

Our little treehouse withered and broken

How long was I out for this to happen?

I felt pain, I felt some torment

Didn't know where I was in the moment

Looking forward, a pillar of light

Everything so dark, but it was so bright

[Pre-Chorus] (2:17)

I walk forward, seeing what it was

Took a moment, took one big pause

There you were, lying in the grass

With a pile of flowers, you're picking to amass

[Break] (2:29)

I run forward, and in a blink of my eye

I wake back up, facing to the sky

Feels like everything hurts again

What just happened, was I just dead?

[Hook] (2:40)

Now I'm back at this empty treehouse

The ladder broken down and crumbled

I didn't ever want to come back down

This is where we were last safe and sound

After you left is when you passed on

After I left is when it all went wrong

I want to be the one that's next

If I die, I'll see you, so it's worth the risk

[Post-Chorus] (3:03)

Living is the true torment I go through

I'd go back to death just to see you

Looking up at where I saw you stood

All that's there is a broken pile of wood

Paramedic lays my head back down

Telling me not to move, and that I'm alright now

Taking me back to the hospital

I hope I pass away, just a little
