Someone wants a piece of you 
Never let 'em pay 
What you do not give them 
Time takes anyway 

Had I known what love is worth 
I could have saved the tears 
Might have come in handy 
Like souvenirs 

I didn't see her comin' 
'Til my head turned in surprise 
Thinking I must know her 
But it was her thin disguise 

She padded up her innocence 
And tightly cinched her fears 
But she saved a little room 
For souvenirs 

I still go to pieces 
But I don't go as often 
Placeless times in space 
Where all the edges soften 

She took me away 
Where I couldn't send her 
I knew that she would leave me 
Something to remember 

I wanted more than one 
Until I found the one I wanted 
Her memories are ghosts now 
Though I'm still pretty haunted 

What we gave each other 
Ain't exactly clear 
Probably comes under the heading 
Of souvenirs 

Pieces, bits, and pieces 
Add up through the years 
I've collected a small fortune 
In souvenirs
