[Verse 1]
Swear it feels like we had it all/
Felt like we could never fall/
Not a worry in the world but a soondue
Paper/
I blinked now it's x years later/
Driving round my hometown, reminiscing/
Nostalgia's a paramour my heart's kissing/
Missing the days gone by/
I chase you all day in my mind, never catch up/
Past seems like another life, did it take place?/
Feelin like I fabricated everything since life changed/
So many faces who I thought would stick around for long/
Now they're gone/
My best friend then's a stranger now/
I can't change that, & it's stranger how/
Familiar and foreign are 2 sides of the same dime/
Today's a coin toss, which side this time?/
[Hook]
Well I know we're not supposed to do this but baby, mind if I stay awhile yeah/
Mind if I stay awhile yeah/
Maybe I'll stay awhile/ 2x
[Bridge]
I drove down main street in Macungie/
Thinking I don't know how to move on/
If tomorrow's the same as today, I'll take yesterday now that you've gone/
[Verse 2]
We were 18, felt like we'd never fall/
Scaled Mt. Naïve, and felt above it all/
We both had our whole life planned/
Chased the tide out, and built our castle in the sand/
But we never saw, trouble far at sea/
Seismic activity, waylayed us with a tsunami/
Swells ruined everything I thought life was gonna be/
I remember reclining on a beach in Hawaii, marveling at the stars God made/
I remember we were saying we'd be together forever, and that we would return some day/
Now the memories are the enemies in my daymares, & nightdreams, and daydreams, &
Nightmares…(you don't care)/
I'd sell myself to be HG Wells; please time machine me back there/
[Verse 3]
I know my past insideout/
The way I navel gaze for days and pout/
Like the sun will never shine again, never be a time again/
When we will raise our face and we will shout/
I cry like my best days behind me/
I sigh like them blessed days won't find me/
I cry like the past was heaven/
But last I checked that's a future blessing/
It ends wells, He authored every chapter that happened/
What's coming will dwarf what I had then/
Nostalgia, I can't do this, we're through/
I've cheated on today too long with you/
Help me Lord, screw what I can understand/
I look up to the sky, trust that you've got a plan/
Will it ever be that good again? Well no/
Cuz it'll even be better than I could tell you/
[Hook]
Well I know we ain't supposed to do this so lady, I must be leaving now yeah/
I must be leaving now yeah/
I must be leing now/
[Outro]
Don't cry like the past was Heaven, cuz last I checked that's a future blessing/
Quit cheating on the present and be that/
Joy's coming I promise you we'll see that/
