treehouse

always wanted a treehouse but i didn't know how to build one was never too good at building anything but you could show me and i'd teach you how to ride that pony and together we could chase after all our childhood dreams do you remember jumping through piles of leaves in september in the twilight hour mama calling us to eat well now where's your smile gone it's not just you i've lost my own one but together i know that someday we 're gonna get 'em back and bro yeah i know we've had our differences most all of our lives and i know just how sorry you are for beating the shit out of me just thought you should know i forgive you always fun when you went away yeah i liked it just mom and us kids wasn 't something you didn't do or did was only when the bottle touched your lips well even when you were home somehow still felt like i was alone i suppose you had your own problems then guess we all did and dad yeah i know we've had our differences for so many years and i know just how sorry you are for causing so many tears just thought you should know i'm learning to forgive you you were always the quiet one loved hearing jokes sucked at telling one but boy we sure had a lotta fun waking up to watch dukes of hazard at dawn i still remember the first day they brought you home flew you in on a plane and i loved you like you were my own and sis yeah i know we've had our differences albeit mild and i know just how sorry you are for saying you're not my real brother anyway just thought you should know i forgive you we both know what happened when i went to college i didn't write no i didn't call just needed some time to get away but i thought of you all of the time in that empty house by yourself i wondered if that silence was slowly driving you insane and mom yeah i know we've had our differences some more than most and i know just how sorry you are for locking the door when i was ten and only felt safe lying next to you and just so you know at last i forgive you
