Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[C] Sifting through the old times, [G] stuck in my mind,
[D] Remembering the laughter, [Em] the love we left behind.
[F] Can’t help but reminisce, [C] about the days of youth,
[G] When we were invincible, [D] basking in our truth.

(Chorus)
[F] Holding on to memories, [C] like a grip so strong,
[G] Aiming for the stars, [D] even if we’re wrong.
[F] Chasing dreams and fantasies, [C] in the songs we sing,
[G] With every beat of melody, [D] our hearts will ring.

(Verse 2)
[C] The walls are painted with our tales, [G] of victories and fails,
[D] Our journey seems so long, [Em] like endless ocean sails.
[F] But with each passing moment, [C] we see the rising sun,
[G] And know our tale isn’t over, [D] it’s only just begun.

(Chorus)
[F] Holding on to memories, [C] like a grip so strong,
[G] We’re riding on this journey, [D] where we belong.
[F] And as we chase our dreams, [C] with every song we sing,
[G] The melody will echo on, [D] in every heart it rings.
