The song takes you through a special day I had with the first person whom I had strong romantic feelings for. Sung retrospectively I sing in the mind state I was at the time of the relationship.
lyrics
Slowly walking through Primrose,
Only routes that we both know.
Autumn leaves kissing the trees,
Ohh I'm in paradise.
Vision clouded by the haze,
Ive been on my knees for days.
Wishing you were here with me,
Right by my side.
My hidden nirvana,
Now you’ve become.
Something that I’ll never forget
(Keeping my head in the water)
Something that I’ll never forget
(Ohh Keeping me warm)
Something that I’ll never forget
(Keeping my head in the water)
Something that I’ll never forget
(Ohh its Keeping me warm, yeah)
Slowly walking through Primrose,
Picture painted now it's sold.
To a vessel filled with love,
And now I’m all alone.
Many colours fade away,
Sugar sweets have lost their taste.
Clutching onto secrets shared,
Kay’s never letting go.
My hidden nirvana,
Now you’ve become.
Something that I’ll never forget
(Keeping my head in the water)
Something that I’ll never forget
(Ohh Keeping me warm)
Something that I’ll never forget
(Keeping my head in the water)
Something that I’ll never forget
(Ohh its Keeping me warm, yeah)
All we got are memories,
Shadows of things that we can’t see X4
Something that I’ll never forget, no
Keeping me warm, yes
Its all I need
(yeah)
Its alright.
Its alright.
