I've been looking through my fourth grade folder
I remember spending summers holed up
In my room holding a grey controller
It was easy but I think I'm better off
Not thinking of it
Not reminiscing a bit
Nostalgia is a problem
I'm trying to quit
But sometimes I will permit
Myself to think of all the
Old TVs and broken dolls
My sisters always teased
I'm fading now because
I've got memories in suspension
But the current me needs attention
Know it's bad but for now I'm feeling fine
I'm reliving that 1999
Get the feeling. Now it's taking over
Memories are flooding. Shut the door now
Reminiscing. I wish I could console her
Tell her one day that she'll be so better off
Not thinking of it
I guess I never fit in
To their molds. Expectations.
Don't ever forget
But don't you dwell on the past
Some truths have expirations
Old TVs and broken dolls
My sisters always teased
I'm fading now because
I've got memories in suspension
But the current me needs attention
Know it's bad but for now I'm feeling fine
I'm reliving that 1999
Feeling good cause I got no vision
No complications. No decisions
No concept of a nation in decline
I'm reliving that 1999
Do not depend
On things that happened
To give your life meaning
When you're still living
Don't stay for too long
Don't you withdraw
From the present day
You'll waste your life away
Do not depend
On things that happened
To give your life meaning
When you're still living
Don't stay for too long
Don't you withdraw
From the present day
You'll waste your life away
You'll waste your life away
