Nostalgia’s Lie Lyrics by Sam Fender

People Watching

2025

[Verse 1]
It caught me off guard
Tears were streaming, my eyes were teeming
With all of nostalgia's lies
It emptied my heart
All the weight dropped out my stomach
With all my defences down
[Chorus]
What is this place?
Can you take me back to somewhere, darling
Where I feel safe?
Down the violet path and the oak tree hollow
Spinning and laughing
Was it ever what I thought it truly was?
Oh, oh
[Verse 2]
These streets break my heart
There's pain unfurling and desperate yearning
For all my friends who are gone
Those were the times where we all had nothing
Most my friends are still against it
For all I've gained, there's something lost
[Chorus]
What is this place?
Can you take me back to somewhere, darling?
These purple days
Left the violent mark on the oak tree hollow
I was spinning and laughing
Was it ever what I thought it truly was?
[Bridge]
Before I'm pushing up daisies
Give me a long, heady summer
With arms open wide
I won't take this world for granted
I'll become what I've been asking
I'll accept the path that lays before my eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
All my defences down
[Chorus]
What is this place?
Can you take me back to somewhere, darling
Where I feel safe?
Down the violet path and the oak tree hollow
I was spinning and laughing
Was it ever what I thought it truly was?
