You say you want to be remembered

But where's the glory in all that

When life's made up of moments

That are all we'll ever have

I want to spend mine in your hands

 

The light in your eyes

Illuminates my world

Everything I need

Lies in the folds of your smile

Every moment with you

Time stands still

You think the world won't remember you

But I will

 

You say you want to hear crowds screaming out your name

I once wanted the same

But nothing lasts forever

Time passes like the rain

 

You say you want to be a hero

You'll fight for justice, earn a badge

We spend our whole lives wishing

We could change the past

 

The light in your eyes

Illuminates my world

Everything I need

Lies in the folds of your smile

Every moment with you

Time stands still

You think the world won't remember you

But I will

 

You say you want to live forever

That our days would never end

No one knows what lies beyond the stars

Maybe an infinity like ours

 

The light in your eyes

Illuminates my world

Everything I need

Lies in the folds of your smile

Every moment with you

Time stands still

You think the world won't remember you

But I will

 

You think the world won't remember you

But I will.

This song was inspired by The Fault In Our Stars by John Green. Augustus Waters desperately wants to make his mark on the world and be remembered by millions of people. Hazel is insulted because she loves him, and will always remember him. Isn't that enough?
