Will You Remember?
Eighth Wonder Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's been a miracle I'm still young
Well there's a picture that hangs up on my bedroom wall
And it's there to remind me that you really didn't care at all
But you know there's a sunset at the beach
And you always took me there
And I wonder as I walk will you remember?
Will you remember? (will you remember)
To bring me flowers
When we're together (will you remember)
When we're just friends
Oo oo yeah
When I wake up to a stranger sleeping in my bed
'Cause it makes me forget there's an ocean running through my head
Well it seems that I'll always think of you
And forever the colours around my heart
Start falling apart
Will you remember? (will you remember)
To bring me flowers
When we're together (will you remember)
When we're just friends
Will you remember? (will you remember)
To give me kisses
When we're together (will you remember)
When we're just friends
Oo we're just friends
When we're just friend
Well it was so right but you made it so trite
The way you played with my love
The big fears and hardly jeers
It's a miracle that I'm still young
I made it, a bad trip
It takes two fools to tangle too
But my sojourn makes me yearn
For something that I think I found in you
Ooo oo
I never thought that you'd take away what was yours
You make me feel like a rebel who found a cause
Because whenever the sun sets at the beach
And forever the colours around my heart
Start falling apart
Will you, will you, will you remember? (will you remember)
To bring me flowers
When we're together (will you remember)




When we're just friends
When we're just friends

You make me feel like a rebel who found a cause
Your actions have sparked a fire within me and now I am determined to take back what is mine and find my own sense of purpose


Because whenever the sun sets at the beach And forever the colours around my heart Start falling apart Will you, will you, will you remember? (will you remember) To bring me flowers When we're together (will you remember) When we're just friends
The image of the sunset at the beach still brings back memories of our past love, and I hope that you continue to show me the same gestures of affection, even if our relationship has changed


When we're just friends
Even if we can't be lovers, I still hope that we can maintain a meaningful friendship
