There's nothing as beautiful as a distant star
Proof of our ignorance
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 don't know why we're here
But we're not here for long
We're not here for long
Surrounded by souvenirs
Of days that are gone
As we bravely carry on

We like the words love and 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 nothings wrong
Surrounded by souvenirs
Of days that are gone
But still we carry on

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 nothings wrong
Surrounded by souvenirs
Of days that are gone
As we barely carry on
