Memories Lyrics
[Intro]
Ooh-wee, uh
Ah-ha-ha
Yeah, uh-huh, that’s right[Verse 1]
When I was young, I shouted I’m a star
That distant place is Mars
Drops of sweat, our youthful memories
The smile in the photo, it’s all you
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
I was completely captivated
Fall in, I’m fallin’
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Let’s create memories once again[Pre-Chorus]
Big flows, big flows
Taking big steps
They’re soft, they’re soft
I want to be cool
For sure, for sure
We were one
From the East to the South
To the North to the West side
We RIIZE[Chorus]
I don’t wanna waste all these feelings
I gotta taste this wind
I don’t want to let go
We’re the shining ones
Don’t wanna waste all these meanings
Holding onto dreams with all my strength
It’s what I like the most
You and me, our memories[Verse 2]
Uh, the entire universe is my stages
My playlist that will make everyone happy
In the middle of the world, a chance in my hands
Scream out loud
On those days when I was sometimes lonely, I was alone
This feeling right now is a warm comfort
I said, let’s try it, aren’t we together?
Forever like this[Pre-Chorus]
Big flows, big flows
I’ll stick right by your side
They’re soft, they’re soft
I’ll become a path for you
For sure, for sure
I’ll go further
From the East to the South
To the North to the West side
We RIIZE[Chorus]
I don’t wanna waste all these feelings
I gotta taste this wind
I don’t want to let go
We’re the shining ones
Don’t wanna waste all these meanings
Holding onto dreams with all my strength
It’s what I like the most
You and me, our memories[Verse 3]
I wanted this throbbing emotion
This feeling, memories
Beautiful dreams
We shine, yeah, listen
You’re on fire, know I want ya
Want ya, the completion of the scattered puzzle pieces
The season that shone
Now everyone shout awesome
Our hearts are painted with our own colors
I want to say it’s the beginning[Bridge]
Time goes backward
Even if we start again
I don’t want to change
Memories
The world is ours[Chorus]
