復刻回憶
薛凱琪 Lyrics

Are you still well? It's been so long…
Asking about the well-being of an old friend that has not been seen for some time

I'm here again, at the same old storefront
Visiting the same old store where memories were made with the old friend

Since you loved me, who have you loved?
Curiosity about the love life of the old friend since the last time they met

Let's catch up sometime
Proposal to have a conversation and update each other on their lives

You're as beautiful now as you were [long ago]
Complimenting the old friend for their continued beauty

You know, love is but a memory
Expressing the idea that love is something that fades away and becomes a memory

"She doesn't love him, he leaves her..."
Describing the transience of romantic relationships

Love comes and goes like that
Reiterating the idea that love is something that appears and disappears quickly

We're in different cities, working hard
Describing the distance and commitment that may be preventing the old friends from meeting frequently

But I do think of you on occasion
Admitting that thoughts of the old friend do come to mind from time to time

Me as I am, you as you are
Noting that both the singer and the old friend have changed since the last time they met

It will be long before we reunite
Implying that it may be a while before the old friends meet again

We haven't talked about the faraway past
Acknowledging that the old friends have not yet discussed their distant memories

We haven't recalled the reason for our story
Noting that the old friends have yet to remember what brought them together in the past

Memories from when we were young pass by like a cloud
Comparing nostalgic memories to a fleeting cloud that cannot be grasped

We can't keep it in our hands
Reiterating that it is impossible to hold onto memories from the past

Our tears leave us as we sift through recollections
Describing the emotional pain that may come with remembering the past

Our smiles are the *fresh air* that we breathe
Implying that nostalgia can bring a sense of happiness or relief

Memories *tell us where the other is*
Suggesting that memories can serve as a way of feeling connected to distant friends

We can find each other no matter how far apart we are
Implying that friendship can transcend distance and time

Trees outside the window
Describing a present moment and the scenery outside the window

The breeze that cries
Describing the sound and behavior of the wind

The Me that worries
Referring to oneself as someone who worries frequently

"The intelligent/clever You"
Complimenting the old friend for their intelligence

What is love?
Asking a philosophical question about the nature of love

Who understands it?
Implying that love is something that is difficult to comprehend

So please, don't be sad
Offering emotional support to the old friend

Does your heart still ache?
Inquiring about the emotional well-being of the old friend

Please *let it go*
Encouraging the old friend to move on from past heartbreak

"Happiness" is something only children know
Suggesting that true happiness is difficult to attain as one grows older

Whatever happens in the future is fine by me
Indicating a sense of acceptance about whatever may come in the future

So it's all, all right
Reiterating a sense of contentment and acceptance about the present moment and future

Rain amidst a muggy afternoon outside our windows
Describing a particular moment and weather conditions

Lets us see who we were [when we were young]
Implying that the rain and accompanying memories bring a sense of nostalgia

Turning back time to that one season
Expressing the idea of revisiting a particular time in the past

Dreaming of yesteryear; you in another town
Reflecting on the past and the old friend's current location
