Voodoo Blue – What Happened To Spencer Shipley lyrics

Seems like you never knew
Your spirit saved the day
I'm stranded on my own
You cut short your life today
Did you long for the solution
On the weight that took you down
Like an anvil 'round your ankle
From every rooftop in our town
I'll sing
"I know you're up there looking out for me,
Time has determined who we're gonna be
And I wish you could step from the fear
And paranoia you felt before you stepped off the edge."
As brothers we bled
He'd always hang near the doorway
Room 10 where art class was
Making plans for his bright future
Impressing me didn't take much
When school was over we went our own separate ways
But not far enough to break our bond
What could've happened in the time between
That made him cross the line so he could move on
If you're listening
"I know you're up there looking out for me,
Time has determined who we're gonna be
And I wish you could step from the fear
And paranoia you felt before you stepped off the edge."
Something tells me
You knew it
I'd be stuck with no help to get through it
I wonder if you'd hate what has become of me?
I just try to imagine what you'd say
So I'll take my hundredth look
(I'll take my hundredth look)
At the words you scribbled in my yearbook.
"I know you're up there looking out for me,
(Hums)... who were gonna be
And I wish you could step from the fear
And paranoia you felt before you stepped off the edge."
