TIMESHARES LYRICS

"Sister"

After a couple of weird years in Brooklyn, temporarily lost,
Wanted to be a big sister.
Sometimes the means don’t match the costs.
Who could count on you to make the greatest decisions?
Who knew in the future you’d learn to suture,
Even the deepest incisions?
Not even yours, but mine, most of the time.
You’re on the other side of the wall and most nights I’m fine.
And I’ve watched you through caution and peril.
Like somebody hurt your cubs, watchful and feral.
And I’ll call you sister if you need someone else to
And you can call me anything you want.
Just do.
You’re gonna marry my best friend.
Keep your nest safe and warm and taut.
‘Cause on his very worst nights I’ve often wondered
If he and I’ve both thought:
“What if I never deserved her?
My great preserver.”
What if I never deserved her?
You’re my great preserver.
And for once there’s no bad parts.
There’s only love, love, love.
No shitty endings, just love, love, love.
And I’ll call you sister if you need someone else to.
And you can call me anything you want.
Just do.
And when I’m not across the hall or sleeping on your floor,
One day when we’re older I’m gonna call you and tell you about ours.
