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)
