[Verse 1] (0:23)
Climbing up a ladder to the rooftop
I'm overlooking everyone
Smiles all around, party's going on
Remember watching my dad on the front lawn
He'd be working on building all night long
Somewhere for me and my sister to belong
I didn't leave that tree until dawn
Just me and my sister all lifelong

[Pre-Chorus] (0:45)
One day we're in the car on a road-trip
Leaving that treehouse just for a moment
I was sad, but it wasn't all wrong
Still with family, where I belong

[Break] (0:57)
Then a crash, and then she went through
I hope you passed knowing I loved you
Now I'm stuck in this torturous limbo
But I see you from through the window

[Hook] (1:09)
Now I'm stuck in this empty treehouse
Knocking the ladder out from below
I don't ever want to come back down
This is where we were last safe and sound
After we left is when you passed on
After we left is when it all went wrong
I don't want to be the one that's next
It might be stupid, but I won't take the risk
[Verse 2] (1:32)
Getting hungry, I'm getting reckless
Calling my name for days is my parents
I'm thinking of what you would've done
So I look back down, wait t'ill there's no-one
I start to try to come down
The ladder snaps, I fall to the ground
Felt like I was asleep for awhile
I woke up, some things look hostile
I don't recognize where I was
But then I looked up
Our little treehouse withered and broken
How long was I out for this to happen?
I felt pain, I felt some torment
Didn't know where I was in the moment
Looking forward, a pillar of light
Everything so dark, but it was so bright

[Pre-Chorus] (2:17)
I walk forward, seeing what it was
Took a moment, took one big pause
There you were, lying in the grass
With a pile of flowers, you're picking to amass

[Break] (2:29)
I run forward, and in a blink of my eye
I wake back up, facing to the sky
Feels like everything hurts again
What just happened, was I just dead?
[Hook] (2:40)
Now I'm back at this empty treehouse
The ladder broken down and crumbled
I didn't ever want to come back down
This is where we were last safe and sound
After you left is when you passed on
After I left is when it all went wrong
I want to be the one that's next
If I die, I'll see you, so it's worth the risk

[Post-Chorus] (3:03)
Living is the true torment I go through
I'd go back to death just to see you
Looking up at where I saw you stood
All that's there is a broken pile of wood
Paramedic lays my head back down
Telling me not to move, and that I'm alright now
Taking me back to the hospital
I hope I pass away, just a little
