about

What will remain of us? We all have our belongings, our souvenirs, our boxes full of memories. 🧳 They tell your life’s story. But in the end - those are just things. It’s who you are to others that changes the world. In being kind, inspiring, comforting you will make a difference. 💛🌱
You and I - we are the souvenirs.

lyrics

Look out at the world that brings
you up here
where the world will sink
in front of your eyes
I’m gonna be your guiding arrow
pave a path that you can follow

I’m gonna stow my days in boxes
full of what I loved the most
make the past my sleeping pillow
and I lay myself to sleep

Oh sometimes I feel you pass
float like an echo of yourself
sometimes I feel like me and you
we are the souvenirs

dust, collect and keep them
hide them inside
clear up in the attic
keep them alive
dust, collect and keep them
what are we trying to buy?
what are we trying to heal?
Oh sometimes I feel your touch
warm on the surface of my skin
sometimes I feel like me and you
we are the souvenirs
