Remember Ama’s living room?
Where everyday was a party
We played make-believe
And copied Pingu’s gibberish
When I started preschool
You got so excited and taught me
Every number you had learned
Every word in your dictionary
We shared everything back then
And it was me who spread toothpaste on your yellow blanket
We shared everything back then
I shattered your swan crystal cuz I was 5 and I couldn’t say how I felt
Oh, precious memories
Just one bowl of hot soup warming up our little blushing faces
Oh, precious memories
Just one look and we know the passcode to our secret world
Remember our diagonal desks right there in our study
You said pens down, you could see right into my face
I wish back then I’d said yes to sharing a room at 15
You said it would help us make up faster after our petty fights
We shared everything back then
But I envied how you’d draw snakes and swans and make them come alive
We shared everything back then
Did I ever mention Ama and I used to read your diaries
Oh, precious memories
Just one bowl of hot soup warming up our little blushing faces
Oh, precious memories
Just one look and we know the passcode to our secret world
I miss the times when
I would follow you everywhere
Copy every step you take
my earliest playmate yay-ay
I miss the times when
you would cook everything for me
When there was just you and me
my ride or die forever yay-ay
Oh, precious memories
Just one bowl of Pumpkin Bisque warming up our blushing faces
Oh, precious memories
Just one look and we knew the way to our secret world
