I Remember
Lisa May Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are you okay?...
I've been seeing you in my dreams
I've been listening to your voice my lover
Good morning!
Where are you?!
Take me to my home
Take me for a better life I wonder...
I wonder how it feels to touch you
I wonder how it's like to... love ya
To be with ya to dance with ya
To feel the beating of your heart
Love was gone our time was wasted
We were never ever forever young
FOREVER YOUNG
I remember I've been around you
I've been walking all alone
Listening to our favorite song all summer
Realities come to find me
I've been tripping I've been dying
Won't you save me I wonder?!
I wonder how it feels to touch you
I wonder how it's like to... love ya
To be with ya to dance with ya
To feel the beating of your heart
Love was gone our time was wasted
We were never ever forever young
FOREVER YOUNG
How are you?
Are you okay?...
I've been seeing you in my dreams
I've been listening to your voice my lover
Good morning!
Where are you?!
Take me to my home
Take me for a better life...
I wonder.
