Old photos. Quiet bedroom. Missing a simpler time.] [Verse 1] I miss the days when my biggest fear Was getting called out, not disappearing Back when laughter filled the room And time felt like it had nothing to lose Back when life was riding bikes Chasing sunsets, staying out all night Now I’m chasing peace of mind And every thought feels like a fight [Pre-Chorus] I look in the mirror, I don’t know him Just a tired face with hope slowly broken [Chorus] Nostalgia, take me home To the days before I felt alone Back when my heart didn’t feel so cold When I was happy just being me Nostalgia, I still see That little kid inside of me Somewhere under all this fear I wish I could go back there [Verse 2] I miss when love was easy When smiles came so freely Before the scars, before the doubt Before I learned what pain’s about I had dreams without pressure Life felt light like a feather Now I’m holding all this weight Trying not to let it break me [Pre-Chorus] I scroll through memories on my phone Like they’re postcards from a place I can’t go [Chorus] Nostalgia, take me home To the days before I felt alone Back when my heart didn’t feel so cold When I was happy just being me Nostalgia, I still see That little kid inside of me Somewhere under all this fear I wish I could go back there [Bridge] I don’t wanna rewind my life I just wanna feel alright Like I did before the dark Before the world got in my heart I don’t hate the man I am I just miss who I was then [Final Chorus / Outro] Nostalgia, hold me close Let me feel what I almost lost Even if it’s just for tonight Let me remember what it was like Nostalgia, quietly Reminds me I’m still me Even if I’m not okay Those happy days still live in me
