Kevin Le - I Wish I Was There (For Andy) Lyrics

Anxiety replaced
By a sudden embrace
While I hardly knew ya
You seemed cooler
Your smile wiped your tears
Told jokes that scared away your fears
And I thought it's so clear
That you're living your golden years

Can you see my house from up there?
Way up in the atmosphere?
Won't you come down?
And erase my frown?
You sang away our worries
Let me return the favor please
If you're in despair
Then I wish I was there

Are you gonna be at Uncle Mo's on Wednesday?
Hey, you know I bet you're there already, right?
What, you're not even nervous?
About singing "Walking in Memphis?"
Then one night I walk in
And everyone's cryin'
I said "What's going on?"
They say "Our friend's gone!"
Your face is all over our feeds
Local news has the leads
You were dealt the worst deed
In your time need

Can you see my house from up there?
Way up in the atmosphere?
Won't you come down?
And erase my frown?
You sang away our worries
Let me return the favor please
If you're in despair
Then I wish I was there

I deny that you're gone
As your strange loop carries on
I don't think that you're lost
You're just within all of us
You are more than rolling wheels
You are the highway
We'll take a moment to kneel
Look up to you and pray

Can you see my house from up there?
Way up in the atmosphere?
Won't you come down?
And erase my frown?
You sang away our worries
Let me return the favor please
If you're in despair
Then I wish I was there

Rock in peace
