lyrics

First thing I remember about you
Is you were short and skinny
You loved black olives on your pizza
And drank chocolate milk everyday

We used to put on shades and
Go down to the nearby school
To play strikeout hoping that we
Wouldn’t get fucked with or our shit taken

People used to think you were my little brother
So you tried extra hard in sports
But it didn’t make a difference you were just too small
Your mom was the first Susan that I knew

We used to swim all day at your pool
Drinking 2 liters of coke
Listening to UB40’s “Red Red Wine” on repeat
I don’t remember any of our jokes
But I know we had’m
Cause I can still picture you laughing so hard
Coke was coming out your nose

People you to think you were my little brother
So you tried extra hard in sports
But it didn’t make a difference you were just too small

Your mom lived in a tiny one bedroom apartment
With an elevator that was a certified death trap
She was always curled up on the sofa
Pill bottles and dirty dishes
When you’re that age you don’t know any different
And everybody’s got an opinion about how it should be

People used to think you were my little brother
So you tried extra hard in sports
But it didn’t make a difference you were just too small
Your mom was the first Susan that I knew
