Lyrics

I am a passenger in my own car Just watching out the window, wondering where I'll go It's scary that I got this far Sitting in my seat Eat, sleep, and then repeat So, why do I hold on the to the past? I know that it can't be like the last time The taste of nostalgia's such a sweet lie How do we know while we're here? Looking back at my whole life Watch it like a movie Edit out the worst scenes Gloss over the details Pick out the best to keep We're made out of memories Please don't forget me Why do I hold on the to the past? I know that it can't be like the last time The taste of nostalgia's such a sweet lie How do we know while we're here? At 23, still got so much to see But I'm feeling like I've lived forever simultaneously Everything I see's distorted through the lens of me Still, I cannot explain why the present and the past don't feel the same It's all in my mind We'll keep falling through time I hope I'll meet you there Looking back at my whole life Why do I hold on to the past? Looking back at my whole life Why do I waste my time? Why do I hold on the to the past? I know that it can't be like the last time The taste of nostalgia's such a sweet lie How do we know while we're here? I'm scared that my life will go too fast And when I get old I'll be left asking "Why did I let my best years pass Saying, 'how do we know while we're here?'"
