lyrics

Do you remember when we used to do it better now we do it so awful
It used to come together well and nothing seemed to get in the way
I know it’s true and so do you it’s fragile so you better be careful
Now everything is difficult and people always get in the way

I had a vision of that thing that happened once again it turned out ideal
And all the people there that did the thing they pat me right on the back
I know it’s true and so do you don’t even try to go for the steal
I’ll remember how I wanna so you’re gonna have to cut me some slack

I’m not a wanderer but I’m wondering just how that I got here
I keep trying to remember but I put it in a blender now it all comes out unclear
I’m not a visionist, a revisionist, I make it all up as I go
This nostalgia’s got me lying from head to toe

Once more on singing to the choir and on trying to admire the present
Perfect as it were I’m not afraid to give a run for the cash
I want it here I want now I want it so I’ll try to remember
In another 20 years I had it here I had it now in the past

I’m not a ponderer but I’m pondering just where I’m gonna go
Will I be a better person, or an alternate inversion of a convoluted soul
I’m not a pessimist, a reflectionist, I try to keep my head in line
This nostalgia’s got me lying from one to 9
This nostalga's got me lying most every time
