Seems like you never knew Your spirit saved the day I'm stranded on my own You cut short your life today Did you long for the solution On the weight that took you down Like an anvil 'round your ankle From every rooftop in our town I'll sing "I know you're up there looking out for me, Time has determined who we're gonna be And I wish you could step from the fear And paranoia you felt before you stepped off the edge." As brothers we bled He'd always hang near the doorway Room 10 where art cla** was Making plans for his bright future Impressing me didn't take much When school was over we went our own separate ways But not far enough to break our bond What could've happened in the time between That made him cross the line so he could move on If you're listening "I know you're up there looking out for me, Time has determined who we're gonna be And I wish you could step from the fear And paranoia you felt before you stepped off the edge." Something tells me You knew it I'd be stuck with no help to get through it I wonder if you'd hate what has become of me? I just try to imagine what you'd say So I'll take my hundredth look (I'll take my hundredth look) At the words you scribbled in my yearbook. "I know you're up there looking out for me, (hums)..who were gonna be And I wish you could step from the fear And paranoia you felt before you stepped off the edge."
