[Intro]
In this race against time
Maybe it's all design
[Verse 1]
Uh
Thinkin' about the times we had, hopin' that there's a next time
Still remember the words that you gave me while at your bedside
Keepin' my glasses on 'cause sorrow took its toll, I'm red eyed
Told you a piece of me's leavin' wit' you, and you just sighed
Sober as fuck 'cause just sittin there was the best high
My biggest fear's lettin you down, make sure you see my best side
I won't ever forget the day that you said "Bye"
Damn... sometimes you gotta just cry
Dreamt about you, went back to sleep as fast as I can like
Man... come back to me if you can
Get to bag and help with the fam, that was the plan
I'd do a show and stop by just to put half in your hand
Ain't have much time with your son, he found his way back in a jam
Readin' the words upset, still sendin' letters back to the can
The love received as a child, it cleared my path as a man
Now I'm just holdin' on as long as I can
[Hook]
You will always mean a lot to me
I'll never have to question the purpose, I know you're watchin me
I imagine it's crowded right now, just hold a spot for me
My guard ain't gon' never go down, that's how it's gotta be
(Karma never lied to me)
If things go down, don't let me drown
As the world goes round, the time keeps flyin' away
I know you're watchin' me, just hold a spot for me
[Verse 2]
Uh
I could sure use your energy
I'll see you in our next life, hopefully, you'll remember me
When I feel like I'm losin' my way, I just use your memory
I never thought I'd see 21, let alone 70
Hope the ending is heavenly
Without a mask, I took responsibilities, was glad to
When I made it home, there was no need for dictionaries, I had you
You told me that you were scared to leave, but you had to
Everyday you drifted further away, wish I could grab you
You saved my life and lookin' back at it, you need a statue
Hated to make you mad, at 14 hidin' my tattoos
Gave my all now I'm empty, a grippier hug just might do
Affected all those that met me, nobody loved me like you
They said I would lose it, for provin' 'em wrong; my appetite grew
You probably waitin', hope I make it to paradise too
Yesterday was your birthday, I celebrated just like you
Time's flyin', another battle to fight through
[Hook]
You will always mean a lot to me
I'll never have to question the purpose, I know you're watchin me
I imagine it's crowded right now, just hold a spot for me
My guard ain't gon' never go down, that's how it's gotta be
(Karma never lied to me)
If things go down, don't let me drown
As the world goes round, the time keeps flyin' away
I know you're watchin' me, just hold a spot for me
If things go down, don't let me drown
As the world goes round, the time keeps flyin' away
I know you're watchin' me, just hold a spot for me
[Outro]
In this race against time
Maybe it's all design
Don't put too much on the mind
Everything'll be fine
