"Rufio,Rufio,RU-FI-O"

If I was to walk 'till time saw no end
If I was to climb 'till the air was too thin
I could not find a picture to fit the frame
As perfect as you
As perfect as you

You showed me life and lived nothing less
Cause you're so above me
I took my time your memory is bliss
The angel above me

When I look at the stars they shine of your eyes
The sky, it burns bright with your presence tonight
Yet you're so above me and I cannot fly
To the angel above me I long to be with, with

Angel above me

To look at the mountains vast and great
Is one step above in seeing your face
To look at the stars for they lead the way
To the angel above

If I was to walk 'till time saw no end
If I was to climb 'till the air was too thin
I could not find a picture to fit the frame
As perfect as you
As perfect as you

You showed me life and lived nothing less
Yet you're so above me
I took my time your memory is bliss
The angel above me

When I look at the stars they shine of your eyes
The sky, it burns bright with your presence tonight
Yet your so above me and I cannot fly
To the angel above me I long to be with, with

Angel above me

    i've just been invitited to a band where they wanted me to play this son... i know you'll kick me (sorry) but I personaly don't like this kind of music... hey listen to the Great Gig in the Sky... maybe you'll like it haha... naa but its a really catchy lyrics although they sing about the only boring things actual songs sing about... a very superficial view of love... not very expressive...

    After reading Rufiobrodie's (If that's the truth,the lyrics do go with it) reply,I listened to the song and my eyes teared up a litte because I have had a parent die as well.

    But,on the positive side,you could totally use this song to score sweet points with a guy/girl :)

    I agree with SandwichPunk!!! I really like this song, I think Rufio are one of the best punk bands around and that's a lot coming from me because I listen to a lot of different bands. I can only hope they get famous enough so they go on tour so that I can go see them live!! :-)

    To anyone in the Bay Area, Rufio is playing at Santa Clara University on February 1st. Check them out; they're great live. Punk E, although your music tastes are good, you write like an idiot.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
