We got the letter in the mail last weekend
I guess now it's official that you're leaving
I've never been so proud of you, I mean it
But it's tearing me apart...
How can a simple piece of paper
Make me lose my upstairs neighbor?
I know that it will never be same
Once you get into that car
It's like a movie where somebody has to go
You watch 'em pull out of the driveway through the window
And you don't know...
The next time they're coming home
If you need me little Brother
When you leave after the summer
Don't forget I'm never too far
Hope you find what's out there for you
When you're leaving California
The world is not as kind as you are
As kind as you are
Walking by you everyday in the kitchen
Saturday morning television
Just another memory I'll be missing
Like games of hide and seek
I hope the future happens soon
I can come and visit you
When I show up at your door
We can make a couple more and
Before you know
We'll have families of our own
If you need me little Brother
When you leave after the summer
Don't forget I'm never too far
Hope you find what's out there for you
When you're leaving California
The world is not as kind as you are
As kind as you are
It's like a movie where somebody has to go
You watch em pull out of the driveway through the window
And you just know... it's time to let 'em go
Don't you worry little Brother
We'll always have each other
Remember that I'm never too far
I hope you find what's out there for you
Once you're out of California
The world is not as kind as you are
As kind you are
