this is about how the singer wants to go back but doesn’t they want to be young but don’t how they hate nostalgia but love it
[Verse 1]
Why, why oh why, can't I put it in a bottle
With the summer and a little bit of trouble? And I say
Why, why oh why, can't I crawl into that photo
And that body, I was skinny, almost sickly, I could fly
Down the highway of the past
I wanna crash back, yeah I wanna
Crash back, yeah, crash back
I wanna crash back into youth
[Chorus]
Nostalgia, nostalgia
How I love ya and I hate ya
Nostalgia, you're a traitor
It was perfect then but now it's heartbreakin'
Nostalgia
[Verse 2]
Why, why oh why, can't I put it in a vial
In a needle? I would shoot in my eye so I could see
Down the highway of the past
I wanna crash back, yeah
[Chorus]
Nostalgia, nostalgia
How I love ya and I hate you
Nostalgia, you're a traitor
It was perfect then but now it's heartbreakin'
Nostalgia, you're a scoundrel
You even stole the scent of a candle, oh
Nostalgia, you're a hoarder
You even stole the chord, the minor four
[Bridge]
Nostalgia, nostalgia
Nostalgia, nostalgia
Nostalgia, nostalgia
Nostalgia, nostalgia, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
(You) Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, (You) yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
(You) Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, (You) yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
[Outro]
What would we do
Without you?
