Fm      G#                     Cm
Yearning, yearning for the past,
                        Fm    G#
It’s like we’re always burning
                 Cm
through the hourglass,
(Like we always do, like we always do)

Ooh learning, learning as we go
It's like we're always searching for
the seeds we've sown
(Like we always do, like we always do)

G#                 Fm
Stuck in the rhythm, the same every day
D#                A#
Looking at pictures I know I should put away
G#            Fm     Cm
Building towers to break them back down
D#                     A#
We’re framing the moment
The ties that keep us bound

Chorus:
G#             Fm
Days and nights, in the best of times
D#                            A#
We keep our memories like souvenirs
G#               Fm
When we were kids, did you think that it would
D#                A#
All come back to this
Fm          G#
Looking back, looking back
         Cm
and you know and I know that we
 A#
just don’t want to be forgotten

Stalling just to make it last
It's like we're always falling,
falling for the past
(Like we always do, like we always do)

Stuck in the rhythm, same every day
Looking at pictures I know I should put away
Building towers to break 'em back down
We're framing the moment,
the ties that keep us bound

Chorus:
(Oh!) Days and nights
(Oh! Oh!) And the best of times
We keep our memories like souvenirs
(Oh!) When we were kids
(Oh! Oh!) Did you think that it would
all come back to this?
(Oh) Looking back
(Oh) Looking back
And you know, and I know
That we just don't wanna be forgotten

(Don't wanna be forgotten)

Chorus:
(Oh!) Days and nights
(Oh! Oh!) And the best of times
We keep our memories like souvenirs
(Oh!) When we were kids
(Oh! Oh!) Did you think that it would
all come back to this?
(Oh!) Days and nights
(Oh! Oh!) And the best of times
We keep our memories like souvenirs (souvenirs)
(Oh!) When we were kids
(Oh! Oh!) Did you think that it would
all come back to this?
(Oh) Looking back
(Oh) Looking back
And you know, and I know
That we just don't wanna be forgotten
