Oh, here's to you and here's to us And when you're down I'll lift you up Oh here's to truth and here's to love Go scream it out You're more than enough Here's to us Sometimes I wonder were we split for some kind of purpose Possibly I feel I'm dealt with karma's greatest curses Picture me flipping through pictures like I'm in social studies Lookin' at history from a glance by the seat of my pants Video chattin' cause we're miles and hours aside Moving the screen so you can't see the tears I'm mortified Another birthday I missed it Christmas I missed it That once in a lifetime thing I shoulda been there for I missed it Elise was sending emails asking when I'm comin' I learned you don't break a promise with any type of youngin There's no fun in being stunned reaching for the phone It warms my heart to hear em shoutin' uncle Justin's home It's sad to say that favorite tone is few and far between I blame myself could I have helped the situation breathe By better means or so it seems Takin' pictures so I can keep my family close How the table leans Oh, here's to you and here's to us And when you're down I'll lift you up Oh here's to truth and here's to love Go scream it out You're more than enough Here's to us Every time they call I try to pick up with a simple answer I'm tired of hearing all these voicemails It's like a cancer The funeral is this day It's like a constant replay I wanna tell the sensei I need an off day Mind a mile a minute I'm wincing through every syllable Another and another Actin' like I hit the pinnacle It's a miracle My sanity can handle me Smilin' candidly You can filter through the imagery I often wonder are they better from my absence Growing better under pressure Like I have since I have a bad sense When you face the unavoidable Waiting for the call or the text Is uncontrollable A ticking time bomb I'm only tryna diffuse A race against forever So I'm destined to choose What I do Within the middle of every heart beat Pardon me I'm only speaking subconsciously Oh, here's to you and here's to us And when you're down I'll lift you up Oh here's to truth and here's to love Go scream it out You're more than enough Here's to us The years go passin Graspin to a single moment This life is not complete I'm missing one component Walls of graffiti lay empty in search of inspiration He'd say believe me got it covered with no hesitation This ain't math you can't simplify the complications Alls you got the hand you're dealt no matter how you take it I'm just a fragment on the bigger piece of apple pie Right on the corner of easy street and wonder why I watched a man cry A child hurt A mother crippled to her knees from the smell of his shirt For the most raise a toast until the mouth's dry You sailed away now every day I'm looking to the sky We watched your body crumble but your spirit's alive Who knew rushin' to your bed would be our last goodbye Who knew that night a fateful swerve would kill our loving two So when I feel alone I send my prayers up to you Oh, here's to you and here's to us And when you're down I'll lift you up Oh here's to truth and here's to love Go scream it out You're more than enough Here's to us
