The 90s

(album: Optimist - 2021)

Sometimes I think about the 90s
I know that everyone romanticized it
But you could sign me up
For a world without the internet
Hate how easy they can find me
Just by looking up my mom's address
I think about the 90s
When I was not a problem yet

All the time I shoulda been so happy I was here
Wasting it on worrying, just made it disappear

Now my head feels so heavy
I'm left holding up the levee
Feels so foreign, I'm already home

I think about the 90s
When the future was a testament
To something beautiful and shiny, now
We're only counting down the time that's left
With everything behind me
I wonder how much of it I'll forget
I think about the 90s
When I think about what I regret

All the time I shoulda been so happy I was here
Wasting it on worrying, just made it disappear

Now my head feels so heavy
I'm left holding up the levee
Feels so foreign, I'm already home
When your heart starts to harden
Lay your guard down in your garden
Same backyard, but we are not home

Sometimes I think about the
Sometimes I think about the

All the time I shoulda been so happy I was here
Wasting it on worrying, just made it disappear

Now my head feels so heavy
I'm left holding up the levee
Feels so foreign, I'm already home
When your heart starts to harden
Lay your guard down in your garden
Same backyard, but we are not home
