Souvenir

Li-li-li-like like a souvenir (huh) I'm just a small boy from a small town Dreamin' of bigger things I'm just a small girl from a small town Wishing that I had wings I used to call you up Tell you what I was dreaming You'd say Remember this When the times get rough I used to call you up Tell you what What I see in you We've got that fire We've got that spark I'll keep it inside (and) I'll never forget Always remember The things that you said Filed in my memory A long time ago Year after year I keep it like a souvenir Li-li-li-like like a souvenir (say) Li-li-li-like like a souvenir (oh) I-I-I-I keep it like a souvenir (say) My-my-my-my I keep my souvenir I recall my first time on the playground I felt like a champion I recall my first gig in my hometown Proud member of the band I know that they'll try to shut down the spark of a light But hold on, hold on to it tight I'll keep it inside (and) I'll never forget Always remember The things that you said Filed in my memory A long time ago Year after year I keep it like a souvenir (Huh) Li-li-li-like like a souvenir (oh) Li-li-li-like like a souvenir (say) I-I-I I keep it like a souvenir (say) My-my-my-my I keep my souvenir Li-li-li-like Li-li-li-like When I'm lost & when I'm down When there's no one around I carry it with me, my dear I keep my souvenir (Huh) This is a biblical story of trying to gain the glory And what you see before you could be an allegory We pushed too damn hard to give up in the rain And I am done feeling too much to be stopped by pain Let the light shine down and tell the world I came This is what the world of the weak will try to tame To disclaim every thought you ever had in your brain But if you don't shoot for the stars how will you claim your fame I used to call you up Tell you what I was dreaming Remember this When the times get rough I used to call you up Tell you what What I see in you Year after year I keep it like a souvenir
