Prophets of Nostalgia

Prophets of nostalgia
Watch us getting older
Letting life just slip away
Chronically distracted
Tired and hyperactive
Look how hard we hit the hay

We tried to stay here but it wasn't the same
We're not on fire, we're just a couple of flames
But if you're ever after someone to blame
Here I am, I'm your man

They're never gonna feel like us
Never be as real as us
Nothing's gonna seem enough
They're never gonna live like us
Riding on the 15 bus
No one's gonna love so much

Eating hope for breakfast
Sadness still connects us
Apocalyptic tapestries
Wish that we could mainline
Some more of the good times
Strung out on the apathy

We tried to save it but it wasn't the same
We're not on fire, we're just a couple of flames
But if you're ever after someone to blame
Here I am, I'm your man

They're never gonna feel like us
Never be as real as us
Nothing's gonna seem enough
They're never gonna live like us
Riding on the 15 bus
No one's gonna love so much

It feels like years that I've been looking for you
I've stuttered the hours and frozen seconds
Time zones carried me, nightmares tripped me
And by the skin of my teeth I thought I'd found you
The birds started to sing their song
I told them to be quiet and to keep it secret
Until the breeze rested on my chest
And there with one final breath I ended my journey

They're never gonna feel like us
Never be as real as us
Nothing's gonna seem enough
They're never gonna live like us
Riding on the 15 bus
No one's gonna love so much
They're never gonna feel like us
Never be as real as us
Nothing's gonna seem enough
They're never gonna live like us
Riding on the 15 bus
No one's gonna love so much
They're never gonna feel like us
Never be as real as us
Nothing's gonna seem enough
They're never gonna live like us
Riding on the 15 bus
No one's gonna love so much
