There's nothin' more beautiful than a distant star Proof of our ignorance Proof of how small we are (proof of how small we are) Remember gettin' high on the hood of my broke down car Remember how innocent We no longer are (we no longer are) We don't know why we're here But we're not here for long We're not here for long (we're not here for long) Surrounded by souvenirs From days that are gone As we bravely carry on (carry on) We like the words love, trust, and invincible But then trust falls apart and love turns miserable And the light disappears The only thing clear (the only thing clear is) We don't know why we're here But we're not here for long Pretend nothing's wrong (we're not here for long) Surrounded by souvenirs From days that are gone But still, we carry on Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh We all need a memory we can hold onto At least a few souvenirs to show some proof We don't know why we're here But we're not here for long Pretend nothing's wrong Surrounded by souvenirs From days that are gone As we barely carry on (as we barely carry on)

Here's to the twilight Here's to the memories These are my souvenirs My mental pictures of everything Here's to the late nights Here's to the firelight These are my souvenirs My souvenirs I close my eyes and go back in time I can see you smiling, you're so alive We were so young, we had no fear We were so young, we had no idea That life was just happening Life was just happening Here's to your bright eyes Shining like fireflies These are my souvenirs The memory of a lifetime We were wide-eyed with everything Everything around us We were enlightened by everything Everything So I close my eyes and go back in time I can see you smiling, you're so alive I close my eyes and go back in time You were just a child then, and so was I We were so young, we had no fear We were so young, we had no idea That nothing lasts forever Nothing lasts forever Nothing lasts Nothing lasts You and me together We're always now or never Can you hear me? Can you hear me? I close my eyes and go back in time I can see you smiling, you're so alive I close my eyes and go back in time You were wide-eyed, you were wide-eyed We were so young, we had no fear We were so young, we had just begun A song we knew, but we never sang It burned like fire inside our lungs And life was just happening (Nothing lasts, nothing lasts forever) And life was just happening (Nothing lasts, nothing lasts forever) I wouldn't trade it for anything My souvenirs

All the snow has turned to water Christmas days have come and gone Broken toys and faded colors All that's left to linger on I hate graveyards and old pawn shops For they all bring me tears I can't forget the way they rob me Of my childhood souvenirs Memories, they can't be bought Can't be won at carnivals for free When it took me years to get these souvenirs And I don't know how they slipped away from me Broken hearts and dirty windows Make life difficult to see That's why last night and this morning Always look the same to me I hate reading old love letters For they always bring me tears Can't forget the way they rob me, yeah Of my childhood souvenirs Memories, they can't be bought Can't be won at carnivals for free When it took me years to get these souvenirs And I don't know how they slipped away from me

Δεν είναι που φεύγεις κι όλα τελειώνουν δεν είναι που τώρα τα μάτια βουρκώνουν δεν είναι που μένει σε μένα ο πόνος και χάνονται οι μέρες οι ώρες ο χρόνος Μα είναι που πρέπει εγώ να ξεχάσω εγώ να πονέσω μονάχη να κλάψω Μα είναι που πρέπει εγώ να ξεχάσω εγώ να πονέσω μονάχη να κλάψω Δεν είναι που φεύγεις και τώρα σε χάνω δεν είναι που πρέπει να δω τι θα κάνω δεν είναι η πίκρα που έχω στο στόμα δεν είναι που θέλω τα χείλη σου ακόμα Μα είναι που πρέπει εγώ να ξεχάσω εγώ να πονέσω μονάχη να κλάψω Μα είναι που πρέπει εγώ να ξεχάσω εγώ να πονέσω μονάχη να κλάψω Δεν είναι η πίκρα που έχω στο στόμα δεν είναι που θέλω τα χείλη σου ακόμα Μα είναι που πρέπει εγώ να ξεχάσω εγώ να πονέσω μονάχη να κλάψω Μα είναι που πρέπει εγώ να ξεχάσω εγώ να πονέσω μονάχη να κλάψω Δεν είναι που φεύγεις
