Like Sisters Lyrics

Some people say that we look like sisters,
Somehow, something in the eyes.

And I'd say, "Well, you know I'm flattered,"
And she'd say, "Yeah, right!"

She's always been so careful,
Nobody more faithful.
I've always been so careful,
Nobody more faithful.

When she moved out, sometimes he'd call me;
I never should have answered.
Sometimes you give, you're giving all you have,
And sometimes you're the taker.

Like the whole world went and slipped my way,
And yet I didn't want nothing
So unequal. Like unearned praise,
Like someone I don't recognize
Was looking back from my own eyes.

We'd sit, and we'd find ourselves talking for hours,
And sometimes she would cry,
Waving her hands as though to ward off something,
Telling you she's fine.

Sometimes you have to decide
What is wrong and what could be right.
But I was too "kind"; I was on every side.
As though to try to make amends
For all the distances
There have always been between
You and I – me and the sky.
