I remember like it was yesterday
The day we met
And when I confessed to your mom
That you were the one I'd been waiting for
I remember my first protest
Throwing eggs at their windows
I almost got punched in the face
When I ran my mouth a little too much
I clearly remember my first beer
But not the ones that followed
The first time you smiled at me
I remember it like it was yesterday
I remember like it was yesterday
Playing cowboy on my chair
Hitting my backhands with two hands
Crying over the two New York towers
I remember a math problem
And I remember a little box
Where I piled up all my memories
I remember my grandma's voice
The jars of jam on the table
I remember it like it was yesterday
I remember like it was yesterday
Having Paris at my window
For a Creuse native, that's clear
That it's like switching planets
I remember a medium-scale guitar
And the cross-outs in a notebook
But let's say my first song
I'm still trying to forget it
I remember like it was yesterday
When a factory doesn't make it through the winter
And some scumbag runs the world
I remember and I'll remember
When he asks what it was like
I'll remember too, of course
That that phone call changed everything
And Alzheimer's can try to hang on
