08 · We Were Here

Another picture, another page

I'm trying to keep what time will take

A hundred moments tucked away

A little piece of yesterday

The little faces, the places we've been

I want to live them all again

I save the pieces, year by year

Afraid that one day they'll disappear

There's so much in life we've yet to see

So many places we could be

I want to take you everywhere

And make those memories ours to share

Fill a lifetime full of stories

Hold tomorrow in our hands

Let the photographs grow older

Let the years just disappear

We'll keep collecting moments

As the proof that we were here

Remember what we did that night?

We swore we'd never tell a soul

Now every time we tell the tale

We're laughing till we lose control

A dozen trips, a thousand miles

The photographs, the crooked smiles

I put them all where I can see

The lives we've lived, our history

There's so much in life we've yet to see

So many places we could be

I want to take you everywhere

And make those memories ours to share

Fill a lifetime full of stories

Hold tomorrow in our hands

Let the photographs grow older

Let the years just disappear

We'll keep collecting moments

As the proof that we were here

My deepest fear isn't growing old

It's losing stories I've been told

The days may blur, the years may fly

But I won't let them pass me by

Let the photographs grow older

Let the years just disappear

We'll keep collecting moments

As the proof that we were here

When all these years have disappeared

These memories prove that we were here
