  • Tell me just what I should be expecting
    'Cause here I am on my own free will
    Fortune favors the brave, so they say

    I might as well fix something, play your game
    Make a memory the reason
    Remembering the time when you and I felt the high
    I've found a way to justify

    And we cannot regret
    The esthetical feel
    We had our brighter day
    Was it synthetic or real

    I protect the memory
    If baby you can't recall it
    You can't recall that
    20 second January
    If baby you can't recall it
    I won't forget that

    I protect the memory
    If baby you can't recall it
    You can't recall that
    20 second January
    If baby you can't recall it
    I won't forget that

    Was it just as real as you expected
    'Cause looking back gives you a chill
    Show me something you prefer today
    Yea yea

    Or maybe you're grown up and down to say
    That amnesia gave you freedom
    Or maybe you're a kind that tells a lie just to lie
    We never have to say goodbye

    And we cannot regret
    The esthetical feel
    We had our brighter day
    Was it synthetic or real, yeah

    Put in faith in your relief
    I'll suspend your disbelief
    Put in faith in your relief
    I'll suspend your disbelief
    Put in faith in your relief
    I'll suspend your disbelief
    Put in faith in your relief
    I'll suspend your disbelief

    I protect the memory
    If baby you can't recall it
    You can't recall that
    20 second January
    If baby you can't recall it
    I won't forget that

    I protect the memory
    If baby you can't recall it
    You can't recall that
    20 second January
    If baby you can't recall it
    I won't forget that Writer/s: GUY LAWRENCE, HOWARD LAWRENCE, JAMIE WOON
