Lyrics

Intro

(Oh-oh, yeah)

Twenty years, baby, still feel like day one...

Verse

Small town Obihiro, snow on the ground

Japanese class, you walked in, turned my world around

Konnichiwa smile, those eyes like cherry blossoms

Wrote my first kanji just to get your number, no time for losses

Late nights practicing, hiragana and your laugh

Fell hard in that classroom, put my heart on the path

Pre-chorus

From Hokkaido chills to dreams we chased

Packed our bags, no looking back, love in every place

Chorus

Twenty years with you, Arisa, my forever flame

Through the miles, the memories, nothing stays the same

But us, oh us, yeah we made it through

Daughter Ariana shining, just like you

Melbourne sunsets now, but it started in Obihiro

Twenty years, baby (baby), love forevermore (forevermore)

Oh-oh, Arisa, yeah...

Verse

Hopped a plane to Canada, maple leaves and cold winds

Built our life in the wild, where the real story begins

Ariana came crying, our little light in the storm

Held you close through the winters, kept our family warm

From Vancouver rains to down under skies

Melbourne's our home now, but you're my prize

Pre-chorus

Every twist, every turn, hand in hand we flew

Twenty years of magic, me and you

Chorus

Twenty years with you, Arisa, my forever flame

Through the miles, the memories, nothing stays the same

But us, oh us, yeah we made it through

Daughter Ariana shining, just like you

Melbourne sunsets now, but it started in Obihiro

Twenty years, baby (baby), love forevermore (forevermore)

Oh-oh, Arisa... yeah...

Bridge

(Arisa, Arisa) Remember those class notes?

(Ariana's laugh) Echoes in our home

From Obihiro to here, every step felt right

Twenty years deep, still igniting the night

(Oh-oh, yeah) Hold me closer...

Chorus

Twenty years with you, Arisa, my forever flame (flame)

Through the miles, the memories, nothing stays the same (no, no)

But us, oh us, yeah we made it through (made it)

Daughter Ariana shining, just like you (just like you)

Melbourne sunsets now, but it started in Obihiro (Obihiro)

Twenty years, baby (baby), love forevermore (forevermore)

Oh-oh, Arisa, yeah... (twenty years)

Outro

Twenty years... (oh-oh)

Arisa... forever... (yeah)
