I wish that I could bring a camera into my dreams
So I could take pictures of what I see
It’d be nice to have a souvenir
To remember

I wish that I could build a studio in my brain
So I could record as fast as I think
So I could record everything
To remember

Sou-ou-sou-ou-ve-nir or far, far be it for me
To try to put the world in a jar (To remember)
Sou-ou-sou-ou-ve-nir or far, far be it for me
To try to put the whole world in a jar (Shouldn’t try to) (Shouldn’t try to)

I wish that I could bring a film crew into my dreams
So they could document the insanity
Or is it banality
Who can remember?

I wish that I could bring builders into my brain
So they could build me a big museum
Did I just say mausoleum?
To remember

Sou-ou-sou-ou-ve-nir or far, far be it for me
To try to put the world in a jar (To remember)
Sou-ou-sou-ou-ve-nir or far, far be it for me
To try to put the whole world in a jar (Shouldn’t try to) (Shouldn’t try to)

Wanna write you a letter, wanna write on your wall
But I don’t have anything to say at all
So I dream up a reason I could give you a call
But when I wake up I haven’t done a thing at all

So I hope you haven’t forgotten me
And I hope you haven’t forgotten our dreams
And I hope that we can forget our fears
And I hope I left you with a good souvenir

Sou-ou-sou-ou-ve-nir or far, far be it for me
To try to put the world in a jar (To remember)
Sou-ou-sou-ou-ve-nir or far, far be it for me
To try to put the whole world in a jar (Shouldn’t try to)
Put the world (Shouldn’t try to)
In a jar (Shouldn’t try to)
