These lyrics convey a deep sense of nostalgia and longing for a past love. The song starts off with the repetition of "Throwback, throwback" as an invitation to reminisce about the past. The singer reflects on the passing of time since that unforgettable day when the person they loved showed them the way. They highlight how they have unknowingly come a long way since then, suggesting that their relationship has evolved or drifted apart.

Although the singer is not explicitly sad, they feel on the verge of tears, unable to explain why. They mention how they used to listen to a nostalgic melody that deeply affected their emotions and how their lips remember the beloved's songs. The person they loved had aspirations and dreams of a place they wanted to be, but the singer feels they are still distant from reaching that place.

The chorus reinforces the preciousness of those days, comparing them to treasured possessions. The singer remembers how they were constantly embraced by the person's shining voice, creating a comforting and enchanting atmosphere.

The singer contemplates the meaning of love and life, expressing their ongoing search for the meaning of love through singing and wandering. They wonder if this is what life is all about. The chorus is repeated again, emphasizing the yearning and longing for the past love and the lingering scent of their songs and love.

They mention the wishes left behind by their beloved, which continue to sustain their existence, allowing them to live, laugh, and cry. The repetition of the chorus brings the song full circle, reiterating the desire to throwback to the day when the person they loved showed them the way.
