Lyrics
It was in 1992

I just thought I'd take the chance
Taking a chance without clear expectations, embracing spontaneity.
That maybe you liked me
Expressing hope that the other person reciprocates feelings.
As much as I liked you
Highlighting mutual affection between the speaker and the person invited to dance.
And as the rain fell on Manila
Setting the scene with rain in Manila, possibly symbolizing emotional intensity or change.
We didn't say what we both knew
Acknowledging unspoken emotions shared in the rain.
It was the best day of my life

A secret you and I shared

For how I was or who I am

Skulls and hearts mark old regrets
Symbolizing past mistakes or choices with skulls and hearts.
Tattoos of an ancient story
Referring to tattoos as visual reminders of a significant narrative.
Call for me and I'll come running
Offering readiness to respond when called upon, indicating commitment.

Reflecting on the passage of time since the initial dance invitation.
Since I first asked you to dance
Expressing fondness for memories and smiling at past opportunities.
I like to smile and recall the moments
Recalling specific moments and cherishing them in retrospect.
Of all the times I had the chance

To settle down with you
Expressing a desire for a committed and settled life with the other person.
And end my life with with love
Describing a longing for a life filled with love and emotional fulfillment.

Acknowledging the impermanence of visual memories while maintaining emotional awareness.
Those were the best days of my life
