you had the left side and i had the right / with a line down the middle so we wouldn't fight / two sisters sharing a room / with desk in the middle of two twin beds / i listened to every word you said / and when I couldn't face the world / i faced you instead / i saw me / it pulled me through when / i saw me / it pulled me through when / i saw me / from your point of view / we twirled around in the breeze / the years turned faster than the leaves / the seasons stopped when you left home / i remember that first night / i was so alone i kept on the lights / and stood in a half empty room on the line you had drawn / when life picked me up and spun me around / you never stopped and judged / you showed me that the way through / was to do the best i could / did you know that every holiday / when relatives mixed up our names / i smiled to myself and pretended i was you / when you were around there were so many words i never knew how to say / i've got to let you know i said them all in my own way
