Everlast

Do you ever close your eyes
Breathe in and out a few times and think - oh my
I wish I could go back to paradise! And then
All of a sudden, your dearest memories pop up in your head
Like an open invitation; a free ticket to emotion-land

Think of your happiest moments
Remember the tiniest details
Where were you? Who were you with?
Was the sky blue as you watched the clouds
Pass by or was it black as you counted the stars of that night?
Were you expecting it to happen?

You remember crystal clearly the night
You met your best friend and the day
You watched your favorite movie in class
The way your friends sang you happy birthday
The fond caress in your hair as you read
The dance moves you invented at some band's
Concert and that time you changed your yellow
All stars for ones that were red and
How you miss that

How you wish you could go back in time and live that again
Even though you know that that's the fun thing about memories
They happen once and you can't force them to happen again
Once a moment is over, it's past. It's unreachable now
Except in your mind, somehow
Still, you wanted to immortalize them in an unbreakable snow globe
To have and to hold everlastingly

But look! The Sun's up already and I'd recommend you to wake up
Dress up, put a lot of coffee in your cup and live
Have a picnic in the park, taste a new kind of tea
Try everything you are so afraid of
Find your comfort zone and get out of it
But know when to come back
Don't hurry
Go as you please
You know, the most beautiful things are quietly waiting for you
