Two speakers trade memories of childhood and teenage years, moving from running in autumn leaves and pumpkin-drawn tractors to feeling isolated at school. They return again and again to the comfort of their father and brother, and to watching old videos of happier days.
I'm five years old. It's getting cold. I've got my big coat on.
I hear your laughing, your girl smiling at you.
I'm running.
As the pumpkin passes and the tractor rides it down, the sky is gold. I hug your legs and fall asleep on the way home.
I don't know why all the trees change in the fall. Oh, oh.
I know you're not scared of anything at all.
Oh, oh.
Don't know if Snow White's house is near or far away, but I know I had the best day with you today. I'm 13 now and I don't know how my friends could be so mean. I come home crying and you hold me tight.
And breath of fear.
And we drive and drive until we found a town far enough away. And we talk in a window shop till I forgot all their names.
I don't know who I'm gonna talk to now at school. I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. Don't know how long it's gonna take to feel okay, but I know I had the best day with you today.
I have an excellent father. His strength is making me stronger. God smiles on my little brother inside and out. He's better than I am. I grew up in a pretty house where I had space to run and I had the best days with you. There is a video I found from back when I was 3. You set up a playset in the kitchen and you're talking to me. It's Theo! The age of princesses and pirate ships and the Seven Moors. And Daddy's smart and you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world. Now I know why all the trees change in the fall.
Oh, oh, I know you were on my side even when I was wrong.
And I love you for giving me Thank you so much.
