See You Again Lyrics by Wiz Khalifa
Chorus: Charlie Puth
It’s been a long day
Without you, my friend
And I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again
We’ve come a long way
From where we began
Oh, I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again
Verse 1: Wiz Khalifa
Damn, who knew?
All the planes we flew, good things we been through
That I’d be standin’ right here talkin’ to you
‘Bout another path, I know we loved to hit the road and laugh
But somethin’ told me that it wouldn’t last
Had to switch up, look at things different, see the bigger picture
Those were the days, hard work forever pays
Now I see you in a better place
Uh
Refrain: Wiz Khalifa
How can we not talk about family when family’s all that we got?
Everything I went through, you were standin’ there by my side
And now you gon’ be with me for the last ride
Chorus: Charlie Puth & Wiz Khalifa
It’s been a long day
Without you, my friend
And I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again (I’ll see you again)
We’ve come a long way (Yeah, we came a long way)
From where we began (You know where we started)
Oh, I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again (Let me tell you)
When I see you again
Post-Chorus: Charlie Puth & Wiz Khalifa
Oh, oh
Ooh (Yeah)
Verse 2: Wiz Khalifa
First, you both go out your way and the vibe is feelin’ strong
And what’s small turned to a friendship, a friendship turned to a bond
And that bond’ll never be broken, the love will never get lost
And when brotherhood come first, then the line’ll never be crossed
Established it on our own when that line had to be drawn
And that line is what we reached, so remember me when I’m gone
Refrain: Wiz Khalifa
How can we not talk about family when family’s all that we got?
Everything I went through, you were standin’ there by my side
And now you gon’ be with me for the last ride
Bridge: Charlie Puth
So let the light guide your way, yeah
Hold every memory as you go
And every road you take
Will always lead you home, home
Chorus: Charlie Puth
It’s been a long day
Without you, my friend
And I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again
We’ve come a long way
From where we began
Oh, I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again
Post-Chorus: Charlie Puth & Wiz Khalifa
Oh (Uh), oh (Yeah-yeah; yeah)
Ooh (Yo, yo, uh)
When I see you again (See you again, yeah, yeah)
Oh (Yeah), oh (Yeah, yeah; oh-oh)
Ooh (Uh-huh, yup)
When I see you again
