We never got to properly thank you
For all the wisdom that you gave to us
All the adventure and experience
You opened our eyes and minds
I never knew the world was so beautiful
So interesting and unusual
And you're already having a funeral
We can't say goodbye

Bourdain, I wish you knew that we loved you
More than you knew that we loved you
I wish that we could have taken your pain
All the way
Bourdain, how could we know that your heart hurt
Enough to take you from this world
God knows nobody could take your place
My heart breaks
Bourdain

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

You used food to show us that everyone's different
But at the same time we're not so different
And if we let go of appearances then we will find the truth
Hidden somewhere out in Namibia
Lost in the mountains of India
Out in the starlight in Libya
You showed us why

Bourdain, I wish you knew that we loved you
More than you knew that we loved you
I wish that we could have taken your pain
All the way
Bourdain, how could we know that your heart hurt
Enough to take you from this world
God knows nobody could take your place
My heart breaks
Bourdain

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

Bourdain, I wish you knew that we loved you
More than you knew that we loved you
I wish that we could have taken your pain
All the way
Bourdain, how could we know that your heart hurt
Enough to take you from this world
God knows nobody could take your place
My heart breaks
Bourdain
