MEMORY
Hill/Wiltschinsky Guitar Duo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When we
Got lost together
In Saint petes
Do you remember
When we
Hung out together
I didn't wanna leave
When we
Would talk until
We fell asleep
Do you remember
When we
Would have to hitch a ride
To the movies
I love the feeling
When I'm with you
I get the feeling
That you like it too
The day that I met you
Tried hard to play it cool
Knew that I wanted to
Be with you
I remember when my
Brother first saw you
It was a Friday night
I told him that I liked you
I remember when
My friends first saw you
I told them to back off
'Cuz they all liked you
And I remember
When you
Told me that you loved me
I had to ask you how I got so lucky
And I remember
When I met you for the first time
I knew that I wanted to
Call you mine
The day that I met you
Tried hard to play it cool
Knew that I wanted to
Be with you
Now you're in my past
Hate to admit it
It ended so bad
But I'm glad we did it
These are just some memories
I had with you
We've both moved on now
But I still think of you
The day that I met you
Tried hard to play it cool
Knew that I wanted to
Be with you
I love the feeling
When I'm with you
I get the feeling
That you like it too
