Nostalgia Lyrics by Dusty Miller

Backpack

0

[Intro]
Lately I’ve been writing my thoughts down
(I’ve been) Lookin back at better times
When we were drunk and we were trying to hide from
(Your ex) boyfriend in the dancing crowd
I recall him really wanting to hit me
(Over) Kissin you beneath the lights
Lately I’ve been writing my thoughts down
(Maybe) Life was not that bad
[Verse 1]
And you would tell me bout your Barcelona endeavors
(And I would) Pour more wine for us to drink
We’d take turns sharing music
Until we’d find something we both liked
[Chorus]
Lately I’ve been (I’ve been)
Raisin' toasts to memories (Memories)
Writing odes to fleeting feelings that
I can return to when I’m feelin' blue again
[Verse 2]
Like in a sitcom screenplay we’d hang all day
Grouped up by sharing dreams, envisioning ideas
(Imagining the worlds that) we would create
All the tales we’d tell and the lives we’d change
Yet I’d forget to appreciate
The things I had, until I didn't
[Chorus]
Lately I’ve been (I’ve been)
Raisin' toasts to memories (Memories)
Writing odes to fleeting feelings that
I can return to when I’m feelin' blue again
Lately I’ve been painting nostalgia (Nostalgia)
Fillin' all of the canvas (The canvas)
Coverin' all the faults and failures
Paint it golden, escape into a better place
[Verse 3]
Lately I’ve been writing my thoughts down
(As I) Listen to my empty space
The sound of the rain clattering my windows
(The only) Proof I have I’m still alive
I struggle as I try to remember
(Feelin') like I’m not on my own
Lately I’ve been writing my thoughts down
(Maybe) Life was not that bad
[Bridge]
Can you see it?
Do you feel it?
[Chorus]
Lately I’ve been (I’ve been)
Raisin' toasts to memories (Memories)
Writing odes to fleeting feelings that
I can return to when I’m feelin' blue again
[Outro]
Lately I’ve been derailed by all these thoughts I have
I can’t help but resort to nostalgia
(Take me away) To cover all my failures, faults
(All the way back, to my dreams)
So I can escape into a better place
