[Verse 1]
AmWhere are you?
EmWhere did time leave you?

AmI hope I could embrace Emmore than your memory
CI'd love to hear you calling Gme once again
Am"Hey darling, how are you Emdoing today?"
C"Hey darling, are you Gready to play?"

FA few years have E7passed, but it Amseems like centuriFes
I miss the way we Amused to talk and Cjoke
FNow there's only judgment E7and misunderstAmanding
FI hope we could twist time, the Gway we were before
