[Chorus - MAYA LUCIA] Nostalgia held so close to me It all seems like a dream Hope that time won’t notice me Is it too late to go back to It’s too late to go back to [Verse 1 - Joe Sung-Rae] Can I please be so simple? Human cannonball that flies out a dimple Limp’ll occur from when my body goes nimble A symbol so pure, so iconic, you gotta be Outta your mind, with two snare hits and a cymbal I’d be floating on Cloud 9 with no pants on A mansion impressed, so impeccably dressed Living the good life, being hella tight with my friends Do all the fucking joints and gin so we’re cross-faded again As men, we should demonstrate how the future behaves But some people out there didn’t even learn how to shave From the represent gents, who should’ve stayed but they left Cause those birds were never taught how to fly out of the nest It’s a mess, we stand on shoulders of giants Claiming we’re adults: we’re crying Inside, we smile, but we lie; Shells of former selves, but we’re trying Our best in this life, compass giving no direction Zombies’ hearts are missing, sipping, getting twisted to remember back when [Chorus - MAYA LUCIA] Nostalgia held so close to me It all seems like a dream Hope that time won’t notice me Is it too late to go back to It’s too late to go back to [Hook - MAYA LUCIA] When we were young When we were young When we were young When we were young [Verse 2 - Joe Sung-Rae] People telling me what kind of person to be No longer can see the reflection that’s me There’s Mulan 3 Obscuring up the mirror with their fog screen of inputs Wipe away the noise: now I see who I turned into I’m the kind of guy too young for watercress I’m the kind of guy turning peace signs to less I’m the kind of guy bitching Chipotle over Baja Fresh I’m the kind of guy who still has hope for the Loch Ness We’re monsters incorporated, organized a herd for profit Hypocrites well mass debated, reaching deep into their pockets Flipping fingers into sockets; brace to be amazed We were born in a society that we were bound to hate Fate has us on a course set for the Promise Land They promised us a happily ever after but they know they can’t Even fucking fathom one cause if you run the tape back A relapse, a cycle old as Grandpap Someone broke a promise back when [Chorus - MAYA LUCIA] Nostalgia held so close to me It all seems like a dream Hope that time won’t notice me Is it too late to go back to It’s too late to go back to [Hook - MAYA LUCIA] When we were young When we were young When we were young When we were young [Interlude]
