[Verse] Met you in the summer, vibes crisp like lettuce, Back when MTV still played the hits, Your laugh an echo in the halls of school bricks, We was young renegades, mixtape tricks. [Verse 2] You wore those vintage jeans, threads so tight, Rebellious mornings, skipping dawn's first light, Adidas stripes, pre-internet hype, The way you moved, a flash, a firefly's flight. [Chorus] When I knew you, world was a daydream, Backseat of youth, living like a live stream, When I knew you, life was a rap scheme, Lyrics in our veins, Beats like a jet gleam. Oh when I knew you, Oh because I knew you, I have been changed, for good [Verse 3] Took you to my secret spots, rooftop scenes, We painted city's pulse, splattered in greens, Nights stretched infinite, starry-eyed teens, Our bond much truer than our wildest dreams. [Verse 4] Fast forward on the tape, life got real, Careers and bills, the grind and the deal, But memories still bump on my mental reel, Your smile, electric, old wounds still heal. [Chorus] When I knew you, world was a daydream, Backseat of youth, living like a live stream, When I knew you, life was a rap scheme, Lyrics in our veins, Beats like a jet gleam. Oh when I knew you, Oh because I knew you, I have been changed, for good [Bridge] Time machine in my heart, wish I could rewind, Polaroids and verses, treasures we find, Life's new soundtrack don't feel as aligned, Yet echoes of you, forever enshrined. [Verse 5] You're eye shone bright Like my light your my shootin' star We can love, love from afar [Chorus] When I knew you, world was a daydream, Backseat of youth, living like a live stream, When I knew you, life was a rap scheme, Lyrics in our veins, Beats like a jet gleam. Oh when I knew you, Oh because I knew you, I have been changed, for good (If you hear this, oh yh it's you, Aaron, I liked u in year 1+2. U and Ryan. I shall not forget)
