Nostalgia Lyrics


Tate Mcrae Nostalgia

[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, two eyes down, a little luck
Took it to the Ivies and never really knew for what

[Pre-Chorus]
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 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]
My ma 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 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'
