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
