I STILL REMEMBER
I, I still remember
How you looked that afternoon
There was only you
You said:
"It's just like a full moon"
Blood beats faster in our veins
We left our trousers by the canal
And our fingers
They almost touched
You should have asked me for it
I would have been brave
You should have asked me for it
How could I say no?
And our love could have soared
Over playgrounds and rooftops
Every park bench screams your name
I kept your tie
I’d’ve gone wherever you wanted
I still remember
I still remember
And on that teachers' training day
(And on that teachers' training day)
We wrote our names on every train
(We wrote our names on every train)
Laughed at the people off to work
(Laughed at the people off to work)
So monochrome and so lukewarm
(So monochrome and so lukewarm)
And I can see our days are becoming night
I could feel your heartbeat across the grass
We should have run
I would go with you anywhere
I should have kissed you by the water
You should’ve asked me for it
I would have been brave
You should’ve asked me for it
How could I say no?
And our love could have soared
over playgrounds and rooftops
Every park bench screams your name
I kept your tie
I'd have let you if you asked me
I still remember
I still remember
I still remember
I still remember
