📜 Lyrics

Ain't no dust on my photo albums
I can't make it through the day without 'em
I been stuck in the middle like Malcolm
AirPods only play early 2000s
Thousands of options to cope
Opt for concoctions of reruns and tropes
It's better for me than a smoke
I joke, but I'm wondering is this enough for me?
Is this enough?

I need more than a second hand high from a memory
More than a way to get by
What's the remedy?
Looking back feels like my only tether

I need something better (Better, better, better, better)
Something bеtter than nostalgia (Better, bеtter, better, better)
Something better than the magic of the classics
I've been asking to go back
But what could be better? (Better, better, better, better)
What's better than nostalgia?

Tomorrow you a stranger I don't know you
Where'd you cut your teeth?
What high school did you go to?
I know yesterday from Federal Way
We had to go through a lotta crazy things together
So I don't owe you
But I'm a blue version of myself
Drown out the noise with laugh tracks from Seinfeld
I can't tell up from down on this
IV drip from the 90s you tell me that

I need more than a second hand high from a memory
More than a way to get by
What's the remedy?
Looking back feels like my only tether

I need something better (Better, better, better, better)
Something better than nostalgia (Better, better, better, better)
Something better than the magic of the classics
I've been asking to go back
But what could be better? (Better, better, better, better)
What's better than nostalgia?

I wanna get better wanna feel a new way
'Cause I'm under the weather almost everyday
I fire up the time machine to run from the pain
But I can't run as fast I used to
I feel a premonition deep down in my soul
Out of ammunition gotta face it alone
Avoiding my condition finally taking its toll
Yeah I can't run that fast

I'm used to letdowns, used to eye rolls
Used to set backs, used to spirals
All together something's missing
Something better, something different
Pick me up and look in my eyes
Hold me down, point out the sunrise
Make it quiet in my head for something brighter, higher

I need something better (Better, better, better, better)
Something better than nostalgia (Better, better, better, better)
Something better than the magic of the classics
I've been asking to go back
But what could be better? (Better, better, better, better)

I need something better
Something better than nostalgia
Something better than the magic of the classics
I've been asking to go back
What could be better?
