The flashing friends who left you for those neon lights
Crash again when you roll into paradise
My girl says she's standing down 'cause she just can't adjust that little frown
Waiting for the moon to come down
We all fall victim to nostalgia sometimes
When life comes crashing with a reason, but no rhyme
You can fight against the urge to fight against your intuition
But we all fall victim to encounters in our minds
If you could measure up the treasured lessons that you've learned
You could find the pleasures that you've never earned
My friends, they all hang around 'Cause this bridge was never meant to burn
We all fall victim to nostalgia sometimes
When life comes crashing with a reason, but no rhyme
You can fight against the urge to fight against your intuition
But we all fall victim to encounters with our minds
Try 'til you forget
And another day is spent
Look around, the dream's been sold And we're just growing old
Called me just to say I can have things my own way
But I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
Will my space jacket look as fresh as the other guys'?
It matters to me, but not quite enough to make my money multiply
In another world where I had more time, I swore I would one day learn to fly
You can fight against the urge to fight against your intuition
But we all fall victim to nostalgia sometimes
