Verse 1 There’s a box in the back of my closet Full of dust and forgotten days Old photographs with edges fading But the feelings never fade away A ticket stub from a late-night train A letter I never sent Every little piece of paper Still holds where my heart once went Pre-Chorus Time keeps moving, rolling on But somehow nothing’s ever gone Chorus These are the souvenirs of my life Little echoes in black and white Every laugh, every tear I cried Still shining in the corners of my mind From broken dreams to sweet goodbyes Every moment still survives In the souvenirs of my life Verse 2 A melody from an old jukebox Takes me back to a summer night Dancing slow under neon lights Everything felt so right Names I wrote in the sand are gone But I remember every face Funny how the smallest moments Are the ones you can’t replace Pre-Chorus Years go drifting like falling rain But they leave their mark like a stain Chorus These are the souvenirs of my life Little echoes in black and white Every laugh, every tear I cried Still shining in the corners of my mind From broken dreams to sweet goodbyes Every moment still survives In the souvenirs of my life Bridge Not all gold, not all pain Just a mix of loss and gain Every scar, every spark Left a fire, left a mark Breakdown I wouldn’t trade them, not a single one They made me who I’ve become Final Chorus These are the souvenirs of my life Faded colors, but they still shine Every step, every wrong or right Led me here through the endless night No matter where the years may fly I carry them deep inside All the souvenirs of my life Outro So I’ll keep that box, let memories stay They’re the pieces that won’t fade away.
