Reminisce
(G.L. Wijnalda)

Hey little girl, why don't you hold on
Why don't you just grab a coat and follow
Hey little girl, just try to remember
Explore the inside, our sleazy and hollow

It is not one lonely thought
It's a floodwave, an avalanche
A forgotten wish that somehow survived
Why don't you hold on - reminisce

Hey little girl, why don't you get out
Why don't you just leave my head and vanish
Hey little girl, just try to forget it - ignore it

'Cause forgetting will open a way for you
To grow up, open up, throw off all your elvish

It can block all your feelings
It's a floodwave, an avalanche
A forgotten wish that somehow survived
Why don't you hold on - reminisce

If you are grown up and found our wish somehow
You'll forget the disappointments
And then it doesn't matter if you still reminisce
