Текст песни Dusty Miller - Nostalgia

Оригинальный текст песни Nostalgia

Lately I’ve been writing my thoughts down
(I’ve been-)
Lookin back at better times.
When we were drunk and we were trying to hide from
(Your ex-)
-boyfriend in the dancing crowd.
I recall him really wanting to hit me
(Over-)
Kissin you beneath the lights.
Lately I’ve been writing my thoughts down
(Maybe)
Life was not that bad.

And you would tell me bout your Barcelona endeavors
(And I would)
Pour more wine for us to drink.
We’d take turns
Sharing music, until we’d find something we both liked.

Lately I’ve been
(I’ve been)
Raisin' toasts to memories
(Memories)
Writing odes to fleeting feelings that
I can return to when
I’m feelin blue again.

Like in a sitcom screenplay we’d hang all day
Grouped up by sharing dreams, envisioning ideas
(Imagining the worlds that)
We would create, all the tales we’d tell
And the lives we’d change.
Yet I’d forget to appreciate
The things I had, until I didnt.

Lately I’ve been painting nostalgia
(Nostalgia)
Fillin' all of the canvas
(The canvas)
Coverin' all the faults and failures
Paint it golden, escape
Into a better place.

Lately I’ve been writing my thoughts down
(As I)
Listen to my empty space
The sound of the rain clattering my windows
(The only) proof I have I’m still alive.
I struggle as I try to remember
(Feelin) like I’m not on my own.
Lately I’ve been writing my thoughts down,
(Maybe)
Life was not that bad.

Can you see it?
Do you feel it?

Lately I’ve been derailed by all these thoughts I have
I can’t help but resort to nostalgia.
(Take me away-)
To cover all my failures, faults
(-All the way back, to my dreams)
So I can escape into a better place.
