This track is about my sister and i growing up together...
lyrics
this ones for you my sister my love
this ones for all our tears that ran hot down to our arms and dried like trails we burned on our bikes and with the wind we flew without any arms and did our best just to be as we fed from bottles of beer and smiled in dingy Polaroids.
this ones for all that meatloaf getting cold
your bloody sweet sixteen four locks that I picked just to bring you food this is our childhood this ones for you shaking my dreams now they bloom as love from you
this is your gift returning so you can finally see my love
this ones for years tearing down these walls our hearts blistered by a sea of everything that we misunderstood the drinking away passionate dreams
this ones for you your blood and your strain
to smell this cold mountain air
this ones for you if you call on me and I'm no where to be found
my tears tonight fill trenches that have long eroded my face pouring out like that hot summer hose is time not bitter but sweet so many years holding ourselves so high soaring above all this pain
and because of all that we realize the only loss is lover never shown
one day we will both be returned to the dirt once ruled by our tonka trucks back once again to the place where we spent days in love with the world, I become you and you become me, we scatter like seeds to the earth so when tears rain down upon this ground we will sprout new love once again
.
