Nostalgia

Past the house where I was born
Everything was different then
It's strange to think I would've sworn
I'd never come back here again
But here I am drawn to it
By memories that were counterfeit
Nostalgia costs and one thing is clear
There never was a happy day round here

You called my name, my brakes got jammed
Thrown high enough to land on Mars
A painful way to meet someone
As I flew across those handlebars
Yet here I am drawn to you
By feelings that I never knew
It's hard to think of these things when I'm blue
I had to break my collarbone for you

And when I look at you I see
Something in your smile makes it all worthwhile
But nostalgia costs and it's in your eyes
And if we come out smiling I'll be surprised
