Bloc Party - I Still Remember

"I Still Remember"
Album: A Weekend In The City (2007)

I, I still remember
How you looked that afternoon
There was only you

You said it's just like a full moon
Blood beats faster in our veins
We left our trousers by the canal
And our fingers, they almost touched


You should have asked me for it
I would have been brave
You should have asked me for it
How could I say no?
And our love could have soared
Over playgrounds and rooftops
Every park bench screams your name
I kept your tie
I'd gone wherever you wanted

I still remember

And on that teachers' training day
We wrote our names on every train
Laughed at the people off to work

So monochrome and so lukewarm

And I can see our days are becoming nights
I could feel your heartbeat across the grass
We should have run
I would go with you anywhere
I should have kissed you by the water

You should have asked me for it
I would have been brave
You should have asked me for it
How could I say no?
And our love could have soared
Over playgrounds and rooftops
Every park bench screams your name
I kept your tie
I'd have let you if you asked me

I still remember
I still remember
I still remember
I still remember
I still remember
I still remember
