Alex is dreaming and she swears that it was
Better back in the day. Back when she still felt young
The kids are moving to a different groove she says
It feels heartless. It's mechanic. Nothing to make her feel moved
Novelty has expiration. Faster than she had guessed
Cherishing memories. Knowing the 90s were the best
Everybody knows how they got here
Keeping up appearances. Scratching at the mirrors
Refuse to pay attention to the signs on the road
Only listen to the songs that were pleasant on our ears
Listless in the West. Back when the rivers were clean
Boats could float. The snow would melt. The air let her breathe
Fills her hopes with stories of the days back with the scene
It was youthful. It’s nostalgic. Veneer coming off at the seems
If it got us here then was it ever really worth it?
Alex is torn to this day. Does her best to ignore it
