[Verse 1]
You showed up late
Same old grin
Said
"Start the game
I’ll jump in"
Turned bad plans into good nights
Turned wrong turns into new sights (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
So we raise one high for the way you laughed
For the dumb ideas that somehow always passed
You got your picture framed in all our minds
Yeah
You lived that life
You lived that life just right
We raise one high
[Verse 2]
You’d sing off-key
Loud and proud
Steal the show
Steal the crowd
Spill your drink
Still stand tall
Made a small room feel like a hall
[Chorus]
So we raise one high for the way you laughed
For the dumb ideas that somehow always passed
You got your picture framed in all our minds
Yeah
You lived that life
You lived that life just right
We raise one high
[Bridge]
You’re the empty chair
But the story there
Got us smiling through the sting (yeah)
Every joke you told
Now it’s pure gold
Hear it every time we sing
[Chorus]
So we raise one high for the way you laughed
For the late-night talks and the truths you cracked
You got your picture framed in all our minds
Yeah
You lived that life
You lived that life just right
We raise one high
We raise one high (oh-oh)
