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)
