I Went Looking for You |
| I thought I felt you, and the sun was burning my skin |
| As I climbed the stairs to handshakes and embraces |
| I thought I saw you in the screens, or heard you in the speeches |
| Or maybe in the tears running down your best friends' faces |
| Take it in, one last look |
| We all hesitantly stood |
| Take a view, past the church pews |
| I was just staring at my shoes |
| But as expected, at the last second |
| Paper skin and bright white hair |
| I went looking for you, my friend |
| But you weren’t there |
| I guess you’re in the heavens |
| I guess you’re in the sky |
| I guess you won’t be coming back to say goodbye |
| More questions than answers |
| Your guess as good as mine |
| And though you’ve lived such a beautiful life |
| It doesn’t seem fair |
| When I went looking for you, my friend |
| You weren’t there |
| There were whiskey shots and dancing |
| Handouts with your name |
| We all kept our composure |
| Though the world would |
| Never, ever be the same |
| In this life the hits keep coming |
| Oh, our bodies wear and tear |
| I spent the evening circling, looking |
| For you, my friend |
| But you weren’t there |
| I guess you’re in the heavens |
| I guess you’re in the sky |
| I guess you won’t be coming back to say goodbye |
| More questions than answers |
| Your guess as good as mine |
| And though you’ve lived such a beautiful life |
| It doesn’t seem fair |
| When I went looking for you, my friend |
| You weren’t there |
