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 them 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 are special Like your first breath, first step, first chick, first kiss, first time in love First time on drugs, the first time I heard pot, 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 on to 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 that memory of my home Still triggered by the smell of fresh snow and pine cones 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 them All at once I lost that moment But now I got it back, yeah I ain't gonna give it up Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, get up Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah I ain't gonna give it up Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, now I got it back Yeah I ain't gonna give it up 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 believe in everything happens for a reason Cause if your angel dies and the world's 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 y'all 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 them all at once I lost them all man But now I got it back Yeah I ain't gonna give it up Get up Yeah I ain't gonna give it up But now I got it back Yeah I ain't gonna give it up Eat up, eat up I ain't gonna give it up Eat up, eat up I ain't gonna give it up They say time is precious and there's no going back *** 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 *** the money, cars and accessories Cause the only thing we take to our grave is our memories I said *** the money, clothes and accessories Cause the only thing we really own is our memories Yeah
