Nostalgic Lyrics

It's early morning in late July

And last night me and my brother

Stayed up trying to catch a firefly

And now we'll tiptoe down the stairs

With sleeping bags and messy baby hairs

And we'll watch reruns of Spongebob and I

And maybe i'm just nostalgic

But it was gold it was perfect

And a few years later

I read his old space book and cried

Cause we were only friends till I was eight or nine

It's after sunset in late October

And my aunt and uncle are driving in

To spend halloween over

We go to the hayride every year

I hide under uncle's arm from whatever I fear and

Then I get candy to enjoy

And maybe i'm just nostalgic

But it was gold it was perfect

And a few years later

I got a call saying they'd be moving south

Now I just get candy to throw it out

It's late at night on Christmas eve

And my mother serves lentil soup around the table

Cause it's grandmas favorite to eat

The next morning we'll race to the tree

It's all dolled up standing magically and

Next to it is grandma with a dollhouse for me

And maybe i'm just nostalgic

But it was gold it was perfect

And a few years later

She was asking me my name

Now we still serve lentil soup for grandma

She's just at the nursing home when we sit to eat

And maybe i'm just nostalgic

But it was gold it was perfect

And I wish I knew it

Wish I could go through it one more time

Cause mother always joked I was going on 21

And I secretly wished I was

But I still had rose colored glasses on

And I lived through their saturation

And now they're gone

They're gone

Now they're gone

Oh they're gone

And maybe i'm just nostalgic

But it was gold it was perfect

And now every birthday

I feel a little more sick inside
