There's nothin' more beautiful than a distant star
Proof of our ignorance, proof of how small we are (We are)
Remember gettin' high on the hood of my broke-down car
Remember how innocent we no longer are (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" and "trust" and "invincible"
And so 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 (Pretend nothing's wrong)
Surrounded by souvenirs
From days that are gone
But still we carry on

Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-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)
