I gave a reminiscent smile.
The smell of lilacs soaked up the air-
And just as I remembered spring, I remembered the girl.
The girl with the kaleidoscope soul and the warm hands.
I remembered the way she danced, carelessly
Oh, so carelessly
Along the side of the road.
I remembered the way she constantly hummed her favorite tunes and never matched her socks.
I remembered what spring felt like on my skin
And I remembered what it felt like to be me again.

I gave a reminiscent smile.
The smell of lilacs soaked up the air-
And just as I remembered spring, I remembered the girl.
The girl with the kaleidoscope soul and the warm hands.
I remembered the way she danced, carelessly
Oh, so carelessly
Along the side of the road.
I remembered the way she constantly hummed her favorite tunes and never matched her socks.
I remembered what spring felt like on my skin
And I remembered what it felt like to be me again.
