Lyrics & translation
Verse
I kept the albums under my bed
Guardei os álbuns debaixo da cama
Afraid of what they might have said
Com medo do que poderiam dizer
Tiny squares of color and history
Pequenos quadrados de cores e história
My paper world was a mystery
Meu mundo de papel era um mistério
Chorus
Look at all these stamps with me
Vejam todos esses selos comigo
Sort by year, set colors free
Ordenem por ano, libertem as cores
Join my party, take a seat
Venham à festa, tomem um lugar
Collecting life is pretty sweet
Colecionar a vida é muito doce
Verse
Postmarks from a land far away
Carimbos de uma terra muito distante
Arrived in the mail just today
Chegaram pelo correio ainda hoje
No more secrets in the dark
Chega de segredos no escuro
Find the beauty in every mark
Ache a beleza em cada marca
Chorus
Look at all these stamps with me
Vejam todos esses selos comigo
Sort by year, set colors free
Ordenem por ano, libertem as cores
Join my party, take a seat
Venham à festa, tomem um lugar
Collecting life is pretty sweet
Colecionar a vida é muito doce
Bridge
Bring your binders, bring your lens
Tragam suas pastas, tragam suas lupas
Something old and something new
Algo antigo e algo novo
The whole world fits on a page
O mundo inteiro cabe numa página
We are coming of age
Nós estamos crescendo
Chorus
Look at all these stamps with me
Vejam todos esses selos comigo
Join my party, take a seat
Venham à festa, tomem um lugar
Collecting life is pretty sweet
Colecionar a vida é muito doce
