[Chorus: Gavin James]
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
[Pre-Verse: Bliss]
Yeah
You growing up happened so fast
And you only get your first times once
Those moments were special, like
[Verse 1: Bliss]
The first breath, first step, first chick, first kiss
First time in love, first time on d**
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 a miracle
That took me from feeling invisible to invincible, yeah
[Chorus: Gavin James]
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
[Post-Chorus: Gavin James]
Oo-hoo-ooo, oh, get up
Yeah, I ain't gonna give it up
Oo-hoo-ooo
But now I got it back, yeah, I ain't gonna give it up
[Verse 2: Eso]
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
Realise tears dry and it's a natural way of healing, yo
[Chorus: Gavin James]
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
[Post-Chorus: Gavin James]
Oo-hoo-ooo, oh, get up
Yeah, I ain't gonna give it up
Oo-hoo-ooo
But now I got it back, yeah, I ain't gonna give it up
[Bridge: Gavin James]
It up, it up
I ain't gonna give it up
It up, it up
Well, I ain't gonna give it up
[Verse 3: Bliss & Eso]
They say time is precious and there's no going back
sh**, 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** the money, cars, and accessories
'Cause the only thing we take to our grave is our memories
I said f** the money, clothes, and accessories
'Cause the only thing we really own is our memories
Yeah
