[Intro] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1] I was Steve’s little sister, that’s all I ever knew Stuck to your shadow, every step I’d follow you Dirt roads blur under our motorcycle wheels Wind in our hair, chasing the way the sunlight feels Always Steve’s little sister, right there by your side [Chorus] I count down the days till the pearly gates swing wide To see your face again, brother, right here by my side All the years I spent as your shadow, now I wait For the day I get to hear your voice, and not just see it in my fate [Verse 2] We carved through Telluride snow, laughing till we cried Dug Mom out the drift, our breath hanging in the white Every Lil Bit Loose show, I’d be front row, quiet and proud Steve’s little sister, safe under your cloud You knew me better than anyone ever could, my only blood [Chorus] I count down the days till the pearly gates swing wide To see your face again, brother, right here by my side All the years I spent as your shadow, now I wait For the day I get to hear your voice, and not just see it in my fate [Verse 3] Corned beef and cabbage simmered on the stove today The smell pulled you right back, like you never went away I turned around half-expecting to see your grin Testing the pot like you always did, before we’d dig in Another day closer to the day I’ll hold you again [Verse 4] Lizzy the leopard gecko, 22 years gone to stone Sits on John’s desk, your last gift, still holding home He traces her scales when he misses his uncle Steve A tiny piece of you that helps him believe We’ll all be together when the final bell rings [Bridge] I see you in your dungeon, with Sam and John at your feet Laughing loud, teaching them tricks, making the dark feel sweet I reach for your hand, but the fades before I can touch I’m still Steve’s little sister, still needing your crutch I keep counting down, till I don’t have to miss you so much [Chorus] I count down the days till the pearly gates swing wide To see your face again, brother, right here by my side All the years I spent as your shadow, now I wait For the day I get to hear your voice, and not just see it in my fate [Outro] I count down the days till the pearly gates swing wide To see your face again, brother, right here by my side (Instrumental Solo)
