about

So it wasn't endless summertime.
But we were amazing in our prime.

lyrics

Sisters and brothers, sisters and brothers. Sisters and brothers.
Sisters and brothers, sisters and brothers. There for each other.
Brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters. Shouldn't I miss her?
I call and you don't care. You talk and I just stare.

So it wasn't endless summertime.
But we were amazing in our prime. And that means something still.
Did I leave you so offended?
Can't I get inside and mend it?

Sisters and brothers, sisters and brothers. Always together.
Sisters and brothers, sisters and brothers. It lasted forever.
Brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters. Is this history?
We do the best we can. I wish you'd understand.

Now you say you knew it all along.
When we sang the seasons like a song, did you know it then?
As I played, you danced so sweetly.
How could someone change completely?

Sisters and brothers, sisters and brothers. We were outstanding.
Can't we just pretend that nothing's changed?

The endless lawn is empty. The family room is bare.
All that's left are dusty stories no one wants to share.
Tiny words on birthdays, maybe send a card.
Dusty swingset rusting in the yard.

But did we wake up at dawn to roll on the lawn,
Yelling like fools as we splashed in the pool?
Crying and smiling, there on our island,
Sharing our trouble, safe in our bubble,
Playing at DJs, wearing our PJs.
We had it all, or were we just smaller?

Sisters and brothers, sisters and brothers. Is this so final?
Sisters and brothers, sisters and brothers. Vanished like vinyl.
Brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters. Wondering what I've done.
You took a different name. But I still feel the same.
Gone for good and I'm the one to blame.
