lyrics

Big bro taught me about that quiet cool
Big sis taught me how to fight back at school
So I taught little bro how to make people laugh
Now little sis responds to everything like that
We’ve been split up and dragged across states
But the bond through us just couldn’t be changed
I know their hearts like I know my name, it’s home

When little bro left he was not at his best
Now a little piece of him dangles over our chests
When we come together he comes alive, it’s our crew
He’s pieced back together anew
Me with his smile and big bro with his moves
Big sis with his heart and little sis, she’s the glue

So lets make a toast to the good ole days
Jumping on beds and fighting over games
Standing on the street getting splashed by the cars
It’s all a part of who we are

Nobody else knows what we’ve been through
They’re the only other people with these memories too
To my sibling crew, this ones for you
We’ve been split up and dragged across states
But the bond through us just couldn’t be changed
I know their hearts like I know my name, it’s home

So lets make a toast to the good ole days
Playing rock band, theme parks in the rain
Donuts in the morning and singing in the car
It’s all a part of who we are

Let’s make a toast to the good old days
Forget our troubles, laugh’em away
Raise up these new ones, salute to the stars
It’s all a part of who we are

But to singer/songwriter Alex da Ponte, such an act comes naturally. Alex da Ponte is a poet’s songwriter. ... more
