See You Again
Matt Defreitas Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way
from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again
Damn, who knew?
All the planes we flew

Good things we've been through
That I'll be standing right here talking to you
about another path
I know we loved to hit the road and laugh
But something told me that it wouldn't last
Had to switch up
Look at things different, see the bigger picture
Those were the days
Hard work forever pays
Now I see you in a better place
Oh, how can we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
And now you gon' be with me for the last ride
It's been a long day
without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way
from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I'll see you again
When I'll see you again
Let the light guide your way, yeah
Hold every memory as you go
And every road you take, will always lead you home, lead you home
It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began

Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again
