Here's to the ones that we got
Cheers to the wish you were here,
But you're not
Cause the drinks bring back all the memories,
Of everything we've been through
Toast to the ones here today
Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
And the memories bring back,
Memories bring back you

There's a time that I remember
When I did not know no pain
When I believed in forever
And everything would stay the same
Now my heart feel like December
When somebody say your name
Cause I can't reach out to call you,
But I know I will one day

Here's to the ones that we got
Cheers to the wish you were here,
But you're not
Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
Of everything we've been through
Toast to the ones here today
Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
And the memories bring back
Memories bring back you

Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo…

Memories bring back,
Memories bring back you

There's a time that I remember
When I never felt so lost
When I felt that all the hatred
Was too powerful to stop
Now my heart feel like an ember
And it's lighting up the dark
I'll carry these torches for you
That you know I'll never drop

Everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody hurts someday,
Everything will be alright
Go and raise a glass and say

Here's to the ones that we got
Cheers to the wish you were here,
But you're not
Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
Of everything we've been through
Toast to the ones here today
Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
And the memories bring back
Memories bring back you

Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo…
Memories bring back,
Memories bring back you 2x

這首歌是據說Maroon 5主唱Adam Levine基於他逝去的好友及樂隊經理Jordan Feldstein 而寫，獻給所有經歷過失落的人們。

他說「嘿！我們每個人都會經歷傷痛，但一切都會變好的。所以讓我們舉起酒杯」就像每個活動結束後的慶功宴，致敬經歷過的、失去的、得到的所有。

曾奇峰在《致女兒的信》中提到「一個人活著的價值，就在於自己可以做出選擇。」
我們在人生的各種選擇中，經過取捨（trade-off）之後，總會使我們得到了某些價值，並在同時我們也失去了另一些珍貴的事物。

從有記憶到現在，我們經歷了很多事情，失去最多的必是時間與精力，換得現在所擁有的才能與經驗。
那些難過的日子，是沉淪在過往的時光，試圖挽回某些已經逝去的沉默成本（sunk-cost），卻因為無力改變而頹廢著。

一路下來，我從一個安靜獨立的人，開始有了鮮明的情緒。
我沮喪、對自己感到憤怒、對失去的感到懊悔，就那樣沉淪在悲傷的迴圈。

又過了很長的時間，在一次次的告解之後，來到了現在。
我逐漸的抽離過往，開始可以平靜的旁觀我的過去，慢慢開始理解事情當下每個角色需求。
站在事件的外面，慢慢的拆解、尋找、建構我所嚮往的人生。

在這裡期許我自己，從現在開始，慢慢的記錄下我看到的、聽到的、感受到的事物，也許有一天我也可以療癒了別人，就像被你們療癒了的我一樣。
