Lyric

We used to laugh until it hurt

Over nothing, just silly words

I can't recall the jokes we made

But I remember the way it felt — so safe

The sun would dip, but we stayed bright

Painting dreams in the fading light

No one said “this won’t remain”

So we believed it would never change

We raced the clouds, we chased the breeze

Summer nights, we lived with ease

We made big plans with zero fear

Thought the future would just wait right here

We talked for hours, heart to heart

About who we’d be when we fell apart

But those promises slipped through the seams

Like growing up does to teenage dreams

And though the calendar turns the page

Something in me won’t disengage

It’s not regret, it’s not rewind

Just echoes from a gentler time

Special memory, glowing so faint

Flickering like old windowpanes

Still it warms me in the night

Though we’re far beyond that light

Special memory, safely stored

In the corners I never explored

You and I, in silent frames

Alive in love, without the names

Now I walk these grown-up streets

With different shoes, and heavier beats

But sometimes when the sky turns gold

I hear our laughter, soft and bold

It’s in the scent of summer rain

Or when a song repeats our name

That version of us, frozen in time

Still walks beside this life of mine

No need to bring it back again

No need to fix what had to end

But I still keep it close to me

That faded, wild simplicity

Special memory, tattooed in air

Now I know how rare it was, how rare

No perfect photo, no full scene

Just scattered stars in what has been

Special memory, written in fire

Youth that burned, then climbed up higher

Though the world keeps moving through

That memory still remembers you
