If I could tell the sun not to set
Then I would give your lungs back their breath
Holding on tight I don't wanna forget
Since you went whistling up the stairs
Weird how many people around have your face
Pricks up the hair on my neck at the bank
Or the supermarket, and these streets aren't the same
Where we used to be invincible and guarded from the pain
I'd give it all for one more day just sitting on the cement
Doing nothing in particular, just being in your presence
So I could say thank you, if I didn't for the lessons
But I think that you knew how much you mean to me and everyone
You'll be living on, speak your name, say your quotes
If I have to cry a river that goes way out the coast
We'll always make the most, but tonight we make a toast
Here's to the years down in history they'll go
Cause hello's always easy but saying bye is hard
So if u gotta go then I'm saying bon voyage
I can feel your spirit it's shining over us -
Though I wanna keep you, I know it's bon voyage
Cause all roads are leading to somewhere
That's how I know you are up there
The singing birds sing just for fun
And it sounds like
Who am I to hold back the hands of time
Who am I to stop you from learning how to fly
We were just kids electricity in our eyes
Walked through the city watch the trams go by
Used to talk about both doing something great
You left too early, but look how far you came
I'll follow the road, til we meet up again
I know it's just for now, but it's hard to wait
We're not sulking we're going on even though its heartache
Hugged your brother and we poured one out for you in the party
There'll be tears coming from us on Christmas and your birthday
With some big smiles on us cause we had u in the first place
Tales we will spin them, drinks we will drink them
Raps we will rap them, songs we will sing them
You won't be distant, 'cause you gave me the key
To the kingdom, all I gotta do is twist it
Cause hello's always easy but saying bye is hard
So if u gotta go then I'm saying bon voyage
I can feel your spirit it's shining over us -
Though I wanna keep you, I know it's bon voyage
Cause all roads are leading to somewhere
That's how I know you are up there
The singing birds sing just for fun
And it sounds like
