Lyrics
I do relate to you in so many ways
I can connect with you on many levels.
But I didn't go through what you must have in those early days
I didn't experience what you went through in your early days.
You had to be strong at such a very young age
You had to be resilient at a very young age.
A new life from lemonade
A new start emerged from a difficult situation.
So won't you listen to me now
Listen to me now.
There's something I never told you
I have something I never shared with you.
And I'm about to try
I'm about to reveal it.
See you were my lifeline when the world was exploding
You were my support when the world was chaotic.
You moved back in with us in the fall of '82
You returned to live with us in the fall of '82.
I fell into dark times and you were there to help me through
I faced difficult times, and you helped me through.
You told me that a downturn would eventually improve
You assured me that a downturn would improve over time.
And you were right, so I'm thanking you
You were right, so I'm expressing gratitude.
So won't you listen to me now
Listen to me now.
There's something I never told you
I have something I never shared with you.
And I'm about to try
I'm about to reveal it.
See you were my lifeline when the world was exploding
You were my support when the world was chaotic.
Footholds eroding
Footholds are disappearing.
Had you never been my friend
If you weren't my friend.
I wouldn't be quite what you see
I wouldn't be who I am now.
I wouldn't be the man I am
You played a significant role in shaping me.
Sister you've known me (Sister you've known me)
Reflection on being known by the sister, experiencing a strange world, and questioning what it has taught.
Lost in a strange world (Sister you've known me)
-What has it shown me (Sister you've known me)
-What has it gone through (Sister you've known me)
-Sister you've known me (Sister you've known me)
-Been lost in a strange world (Sister you've known me)
-But has it shown me (Sister you've known me)
-What has it gone through (Sister you've known me)
-October chill in that old dusty town
Describing the atmosphere in an old town during October.
Halloween came, I was still feeling down
Despite Halloween, there's still a lingering sadness.
Mama, lost my sweet tooth, what's the point in going 'round?
Mention of losing interest in simple pleasures.
Your boy is losing count
The person is emotionally overwhelmed and losing track.
Maybe try the lost and found
Suggesting a search for meaning or purpose in life.
