Ain’t no dust on my photo albums
I can’t make it through the day without ‘em
I been stuck in the middle like Malcolm
AirPods only play early 2000’s
Thousands of options to cope
Opt for concoctions of reruns and tropes
It’s better for me than a smoke
I joke but I’m wondering
Is this enough for me?
Is this enough?
I need more than a second hand high
From a memory
More than a way to get by
what’s the remedy?
Looking back feels like my only teather
I need something better
(Better, better, better, better)
Something Better than nostalgia
(Better, better, better, better)
Something better than the magic
Of the classics
I’ve been asking to go back
But what could be better?
(Better, better, better, better)
What’s better than nostalgia?
Tomorrow you a stranger I don’t know you
Where’d you cut your teeth? What high school did you go to?
I know yesterday from Federal Way we had to go through
A lot of crazy things together so I don’t owe you
But I’m a blue version of myself
Drown out the noise with laugh tracks I’m Seinfeld
I can’t tell up from down on this IV drip from the 90s you tell me that I need
I wanna get better wanna feel a new way
‘Cause I’m under the weather almost every day
I fire up the time machine to run from the pain
But I can’t run as fast as I used to
I feel a premonition deep down in my soul
Out of ammunition gotta face it alone
Avoiding my condition finally taking its toll
Yeah I can’t run that fast
I’m used to let downs, used to eye rolls
Used to set backs, used to spirals
Altogether something’s missing
Something better something different
Pick me up and look in my eye
Slow me down, point out the sunrise
Make it quiet in my head for
Something brighter higher I need something better
