Souvenirs Lyrics

Here's to the twilight, here's to the memories
These are my souvenirs, momental pictures of everything
Here's to the late nights, here's to the firelight
These are my souvenirs, my souvenirs

I close my eyes go back in time
I can see you smiling, so alive
We were so young, we had no fear
We were so young, we had no idea
That 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, so alive
I close my eyes and go back in time
You were just a child, and so was I
We were so young, we had no fear
We were so young, we had no idea
That nothing lasts forever

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 had never sung
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

My favorite song from Vice Verses! The lyrics say it all.

My Opinion

sounds to me like someone died. i thought it said, "momma took pictures of everything," which would make me think it was about a dead sibling, but closer listening and it's "my mental pictures..."

My Opinion

To me it's about a breakup or maybe even a divorce. He is reminiscing about the beginning of their love and how they were so young that they didn't have a clue of how life and reality was going to get in the way of everything but they still have the memories of the good times.
