lyrics

I’ve been your sister for eighteen years
And all this time you’ve never shed a tear
In front of me
In front of me

Don’t quite remember the shade of your eyes
Or if you like to watch the clouds go by
No matter what
No matter what

Sometimes I fall asleep against your door
I’ll wake up with your sheet on my shoulders
It smells like you
It smells like you

I’ve been thinking
It’s about time we talked
‘Cause I’d love to hold your hand
And study the way you walk
My knuckles are bloody
Oh won’t you let me stop
Just say something, any something
Don’t you hear me knocking
I wanna watch your freckles scrunch
When you start to sing
I know, I must sound stupid
But it’s a sister thing

Can’t seem to like the winter when I try
My snowmen fell flat since I was five
They’re not the same
It’s not the same

They tried to downsize our dining table
But I said “She’ll come out when she’s able
“Just give her time
“Just give her time”

I know how much you love white chocolate and mint
Slide it under your door and hear you crunch on a binge
You’ll eat so slow
You’ll eat so slow

I’ve been thinking
It’s about time we talked
‘Cause I’d love to hold your hand
And study the way you walk
My knuckles are bloody
Oh won’t you let me stop
Just say something, any something
Don’t you hear me knocking
I wanna watch your freckles scrunch
When you start to sing
I know, I must sound stupid
But it’s a sister thing

I want to know the shapes
The freckles make on your face
I want you to trust your gut
To cry in front of me no matter what

But when you smile at me
Get tangled in sheets
I noticed your scent has changed
It smells like you but it’s not the same

I’d love to make you grin
Feeding you white chocolate and mint
I’ll hold it steady and know
To give you time, but you’ll eat so slow

I’ve been thinking
It’s about time we talked
‘Cause I’d love to hold your hand
And study the way you walk
My knuckles are bloody
Oh won’t you let me stop
Just say something, any something
Don’t you hear me knocking
I wanna watch your freckles scrunch
When you start to sing
I know, I must sound stupid
But it’s a sister thing
