Souvenirs - Switchfoot, Jon Foreman, Chad Butler

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
