The bridge finishes with “And that line is what we reach / So remember me when I’m gone.” As a user suggests, this last “line” could be a reference to the finish lines from the Furious movies that Walker and his friends reach many times. When it comes to Paul Walker and his friends, those friendships “stablished it on own / When that line had to be drawn.” They cared about the relationship enough to watch out for each other. Khalifa touches on the concept of brotherhood when he sings, “And when the brotherhood come first / Then the line will never be crossed.” There are boundaries in every relationship that people can abuse, but if friendship matters to people, they are less likely to hurt each other. This lines up with the next line: “And that bond will never be broken / The love will never get lost.” Their friendship will never die. He continues, “And what’s small turn to a friendship / A friendship turn to a bond.” The friendship (supposedly one that the narrator forged with Paul Walker) continues to evolve and becomes a bond (or something that ties things together and often can’t be broken). Khalifa sings that you can then feel the friendship growing. He sings, “First you both go out your way / And the vibe is feeling strong.” For a friendship to begin, people need to step out of what they would normally do for themselves and help someone else.
This time it’s about friendship and brotherhood and how those things are created. To finish his pre-chorus, Khalifa sings, “And now you gon’ be with me for the last ride.” The memory of Paul Walker will stay with the narrator until he dies, reminding him of the good times and supposedly encouraging him onward.Īfter Puth sings the chorus, Khalifa comes back for a bridge. But what does make Walker family for the narrator is that Walker was “standing there by side” for “verything I went through.” No matter how good their time was together, he wants Paul Walker to be even happier now.īefore reverting to Puth for the chorus, Khalifa sings his family-focused pre-chorus: “How can we not talk about family when family’s all that we got?” He calls Walker family though neither is Khalifa family to him nor are most of the people the song is for. Khalifa continues singing, “Those were the days / Hard work forever pays / Now I see you in a better place.” While their time together was wonderful and the hard work they put in together will be remembered, Khalifa’s narrator likes to think of Walker as being in an even better place. Life isn’t just about successes–sometimes death happens and can bring things to a sudden halt. The narrator sings, “But something told me that it wouldn’t last / Had to switch up / Look at things different, see the bigger picture.” Khalifa is explaining that even though things used to seem to be so good, they couldn’t stay that way forever.
The " path" that Khalifa mentions is different from all their paths together those paths were on earth and were adventures they had while still alive, but now Walker has gone elsewhere that Khalifa's narrator can't follow him to.īringing back the traveling imagery, Khalifa sings, “I know we loved to hit the road and laugh”–possibly a reference to the Furious movies, since Paul Walker did so much driving in them. The image suggests the narrator is standing by Walker's grave, talking to himself. He asks himself how anyone could have predicted that even though he and Paul did so much together that one day he'd be remembering Paul's death. (Interestingly, no records show up that indicate Khalifa or Puth knew Walker.) He sings, "Damn, who knew? / All the planes we flew / Good things we've been through / That I'll be standing right here talking to you / 'Bout another path." The song's narrator misses Walker and wishes that he could have him back. When it's Wiz Khalifa's turn to rap, he focuses more on the good old times shared by those who loved Paul walker.
