If life were like a mountain, did you, did you not fall?
I have missed you since I was five
And I don't recall your eyes but your hands I do recall
And I know how you smelt when you were alive
You died
Like we're all gonna go someday
You died
I was five and I wish you'd stayed
They say you crossed a river to touch God's hand
But I did not understand where he lived
So I tried to write him letters, letters of demand
Saying, "She's my sister, back you give her"
You died
Like we're all gonna go someday
You died
I was here and you went away
I didn't see you die, I didn't see your casket
Don't remember if I cried but I never quite got past it
You're fragile like a bee and skinny as a steeple
And all these memories, are they mine or other peoples?
When you died
Like we're all gonna go someday
I was five
And I thought I could make you stay
