Moments

Yeah, I just wanna feel this way forever

How we did when we were young

Yeah, I know I've been changing

Yeah, life's been rearranging

Those times were golden, but I

I couldn't hold 'em all at once

I lost that moment

But now I got it back, yeah, I ain't gonna give it up

Yeah

You know, growing up happened so fast

And you only get your first times once

Those moments were special, like

The first breath, first step, first chick, first kiss

First time in love, first time on drugs

The first time I heard Pac, the first time it's all new

The first time the earth stopped, the first time I saw you

Yeah, those moments I'll always hold onto

Forever stained in my brain in a golden hue

Like when I was a kid just dreaming of the things I've built

Those autumn leaves would cover my hood in a crimson quilt

The world was mine and the memory of my home

Still triggered by the smell of fresh snow and pinecones

Those early days of the six-packs and stimulants

Before the demons came and kidnapped my innocence

Before life swept me up and I was hurled in

And I lost pieces of myself up in this whirlwind

But I had to find them again, 'cause they're the miracle

That took me from feeling invisible to invincible, yeah

Yeah, I just wanna feel this way forever

How we did when we were young

Yeah, I know I've been changing

Yeah, life's been rearranging

Those times were golden, but I

I couldn't hold 'em all at once

I lost that moment

But now I got it back, yeah, I ain't gonna give it up

Oh-ho-oh, oh, get up

Yeah, I ain't gonna give it up

Oh-ho-oh

But now I got it back, yeah, I ain't gonna give it up

Yo, see I remember how it felt making paper planes

Pretending I was Superman so I could save the day

I swear that I would see Santa if I could stay awake

And finding ways to fly away was like my great escape

An only child, a single mother, a small apartment

Didn't have that silver spoon, but we were always laughing

Staring at the clouds, chatting for hours

Where a simple smell lets me time travel through flowers

And I'm happy I believed, and everything happens for a reason

'Cause if your angel dies and your worlds crashing through your ceiling

Hopefully you know you own a map to your own freedom

Realize tears dry and it's a natural way of healing, yo

Yeah, I just wanna feel this way forever

How we did when we were young

Yeah, I know I've been changing

Yeah, life's been rearranging

Those times were golden, but I

I couldn't hold 'em all at once

I lost that moment

But now I got it back, yeah, I ain't gonna give it up

Oh-ho-oh, oh, get up

Yeah, I ain't gonna give it up

Oh-ho-oh

But now I got it back, yeah, I ain't gonna give it up

It up, it up

I ain't gonna give it up

It up, it up

Well, I ain't gonna give it up

They say time is precious and there's no going back

Shit, if I could only unfreeze this photograph

And dive in the windows of my eyes to feel how I felt

Inside right in that moment in time, I'd bring it all back to life

So f*ck the money, cars, and accessories

'Cause the only thing we take to our grave is our memories

I said f*ck the money, clothes, and accessories

'Cause the only thing we really own is our memories

Yeah
