Nostalgia Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Daddy went to law school and coulda been an architect
Now he’s turnin’ sixty and wonders where the big dream went
Tucker never said a lot to wash down a little luck
Took it to the Ivys and never really knew for what
And I, I bite my tongue ten times a day
Half swear to God, I might just pray
And I got a lot to lose
So I might as well lose it anyway
And I, I manifested you would leave
So the day you did, I had you beat
Three steps ahead of everythin’
Lately, I wake up feelin’ like
[Chorus]
“Oh, where’s does the time go?”
You never really know
‘Til you’re standing in the bathroom mirror, like
“No, shit, we got so close”
Hit me fast and slow
Funny thing about nostalgia
Didn’t show up ’til I lost ya (Ooh-ooh)
Didn’t show up ’til I lost ya (Ooh-ooh)
[Verse 2]
Mama wasn’t raised right, oh no, all she ever knew was guilt
Little did she know that’s all her kids would ever grow to feel
And every choice leads back to the trait
Every time that I drink, any heart that I break
It’s a truckload of regret and stupid mistakes
And, man, lately I wake up feelin’ like
[Chorus]
“Oh, where’s does the time go?”
You never really know
‘Til you’re standing in the bathroom mirror, like
“No, shit, we got so close”
Hit me fast and slow
Funny thing about nostalgia
Didn’t show up ’til I lost ya (Ooh-ooh)
Didn’t show up ’til I lost ya (Ooh-ooh) (No)
Didn’t show up ’til I lost ya (Ooh-ooh)
Didn’t show up ’til I lost ya, ooh-ooh
[Outro]
And I, I bite my tongue ten times a day
Half swear to God, I might just pray
And I got a lot to lose
So I might as well lose it anyway
And I, I manifested you would leave
So the day you did, I had you beat
Three steps ahead of everythin’
