What do you wanna leave behind?
What do you want the ones who are still here
To have when you're gone?
Just a little peace of mind
Maybe a blanket to wrap themselves in
When they need to be warm
An old sweater that needs to be worn
Even though it's all ripped and tattered and torn
But it still smells just like you so they keep it
They're never gonna wash it
They're never gonna bleach it
I need this to be more than a song
More than the album it's on
More than the job I was workin
At the time that I wrote it
More than the computer
That you'll use to download it
More than my voice and Lenny playin piano
More than my usual tenor more than soprano
I need this to be somethin you keep
Somethin you love
Somethin within your reach
When I'm beneath and above
Whether I'm in the earth or in the air
Whether if I knew it was comin or unaware
Whether I was facin it down or runnin scared
No matter how or when it happened
This'll always be here
Yo this'll be my will even if I have nothin
Play this at my wake for my friends and my cousins
This is for anyone who will say that they loved him
Tell em he's still here
They just gotta push a button

This is hello from the other side
This is me tellin you not to cry and that I'm fine
This is a message from beyond
This is Ouija
This is for you to put this on when you need me
I'm sorry this is somethin always on my mind
But you never know when you're gonna die
It could be tonight
It could be somewhere way down the road
I just wanna take a bow before the curtains close

This is life the universe and everything in between
Get in the car it's a hitchhiker's dream
Don't make a scene make a fist
And just put it in the air
For the ones who ain't here
For the ones who ain't there
For the ones you think about
At the end of the night
Yeah the ones you still see
When you turn off the light
They're the ghosts that exist even if you fight
Cos when they're gone to forget em is wrong
So we remember right
Remember me as I was
Remember me as I am
Remember me as a son
Remember me as a man
Remember me as a father and a husband
Remember me as an artist worth discussin
Remember me as a friend and a lover
As a mentor a brother
Man remember it all
Remember all of my climbs and all of my falls
If life was a game I had a ball

I'll be your guardian angel now
And follow you around
Keep you safe outta danger now
I'll be the eagle in the sky keepin watch
And you know I always wanted to fly
So that's the perfect spot
I'll be the picture collage somebody made for you
The one you hang on the wall and look at every day
I'll find a nice spot up here to save for you
If anybody tries to take it I'ma chase em away
I'll be your memories the good times and bad
The happy times and sad and everything in between
I'll be the dream that you have
That you think about the whole next day
Tryna figure out what it means
I'll be the leaves in your fall
Be the spring in your step
Be the breeze in your summer
Be the snow on your breath
Don't think of me like I'm gone
Just think of me like a song
And if you miss me put it on and sing along like

This is hello from the other side
This is me tellin you not to cry because I'm fine
This is a message from beyond
This is Ouija
This is for you to put this on when you need me
I'm sorry this is somethin always on my mind
But you never know when you're gonna die
It could be tonight
It could be somewhere way down the road
I just wanna take a bow before the curtains close
