Analysis of Can we?

Jasmine 2004 (Antipolo)



Hello turns to hi
Enemy turns to ally
Gray skies turns to blue skies
As we look to each other's eyes

After that we became so shy
Our feelings that we can't verify
So at the end we deny
Even though there's a butterfly

But I want to go back and revise
Because now I realize
That our decisions were unwise
So can we counterclockwise ?
