Kaeson Rempel - When I First Found Out Lyrics

Barefoot on the concrete
That was when he called me
And said heaven got a new angel
Life of the party
Strangers getting rowdy
I haven't really eaten but my stomach's full

I said this is all just a dream
And in a few days you'd be back in town with that wide eyed gleam
And that was when I first cried
When I thought about your butterfly
'Cause that was the last time I saw your face

This is me when I first found out
And my world was in slow motion
And I stood there forced to smile at everyone around me
Without a shadow of a doubt
I'll make sure you live on through us
And I'll tell my kids how it was to know you even for a short time
Now I know you wouldn't want me to throw my life away
But it's getting cold and I don't want you to see me this way

Last week it was your birthday
It landed on a Wednesday
And I wanted to celebrate your 21st
So we drank till the sunrise
Can't believe I didn't cry
I hope that doesn't mean that I don't miss you
Don't miss you

This is me when I first found out
And my world was in slow motion
And I stood there forced to smile at everyone around me
Without a shadow of a doubt
I'll make sure you live on through us
And I'll tell my kids how it was to know you even for a short time
Now I know you wouldn't want me to throw my life away
But it's getting cold and I don't want you to see me this way

And I'm scared 'cause when I think of you it seems a little bit blurry
So I want to immortalize you so then I won't have to worry
And when we see each other again it'll be all thanks to you
'Cause you taught me to believe in things I once thought were not true

This is me when I first found out
And my world was in slow motion
And I stood there forced to smile at everyone around me

This is me when I first found out
And my world was in slow motion
And I stood there forced to smile at everyone around me
Without a shadow of a doubt
I'll make sure you live on through us
And I'll tell my kids how it was to know you even for a short time
Now I know you wouldn't want me to throw my life away
But it's getting cold and I don't want you to see me this way
