Nostalgic Lyrics

I'm nostalgic

But not much I can do about it

I could set a trap to try to capture what I miss but doubt it

Everything I miss I guess is out of reach

Possibly

I'm not appreciating

All the things I've gained but actually

I wouldn't trade em for anything

And if I had the chance to travel back I wouldn't change a thing

Wouldn't run the risk of becoming who I'd be scared to be

Honestly

Somedays it feels like he's in the mirror staring back at me

And I wish that he would go away

But someday

I feel like I will need him to help me push away

Someone that I know is taking advantage

I know I can't plan it

But I know that I can break away from all the pain

And learn to manage

My reaction

Wear a mask or face the damage

Embrace the fear

Or cower here

The way I've always done

Be on the run

Just a wayward son

And I know

There's nowhere to go

So

I'm nostalgic

Of feeling like I'm safe but haven't

Felt like that in so long that I might as well believe in magic

Ain't that tragic

Photograph it

Turn the page and comment on it

Comment on the fact that I'm indebted to the people that have

Helped me grow into the man that I've become

Someone that'll face the battles that haven't yet been won

With the confidence and wisdom

Of someone who knows the outcome

Isn't bright

But holding tight

Onto the light that's leading him back home tonight

Although my home doesn't look the same

And I've started going by a different name

There's nothing in the past that I'd ever change

There's no growth if there are no mistakes
