Time, Katie Gold - Newstalgia (Newstalgia) lyrics

I give everyone a chance cause
The doctor said abort me
I killed the negative now the
World can't ignore me
I ate the planet and I vomited lava
I flushed the toilet on the gossip and drama
No time to be tired, only to be inspired
Cause I write to light people's minds on fire
Turn my doubt to ashes
Let this be my greatest song
Every tracks a classic
Who cares if it gets hated on
I wrote this to the typewriter
Rain on the roof then the snow fell slow as
It whispered the truth
I used to make the sun
Disappear with my thumb
Now I kill thoughts with words and
Fight fear with my tongue
We used to crush quarters on the train tracks
Now the pressures similar
I got to keep my brain relaxed
I'm grateful for the memories
And to reminisce we give thanks for the past
But Newstalgia is this

There's something to say I see explained
There's always more I can do away with
This is the battle of the past and tomorrow
Thoughts they just live on?

My dad used to tell me think before I speak
So I sat down and wrote before
I spoke to this beat
If you're listening to this
Consider yourself family
Thanks for taking the time to
Try and understand me
This is for Nikay that I met in Santa Fe
He told me don't sweat it let
Go and fall into place
So I exhaled expectation and took
A breath of patience
Now everything's Newstalgia no
Memory is wasted i can still smell the rusty
Leaves on the pavement
My friend is beating cancer so I
Know I can make it
Life's a photo, we develop from the negative
You gotta let go of the pain
Or be a slave to it
Put the past to sleep and
Awake in the present
Smelled the rain on the sidewalk
The moon was a crescent
Milky Way over me, North Denver under me
I love music
But family's still number 1 to me

There's something to say I see explained
There's always more I can do away with
This is the battle of the past and tomorrow

I'm grateful for the memories
And to reminisce we give thanks for the past
But Newstalgia is this

There's something to say I see explained
There's always more I can do away with
This is the battle of the past and tomorrow
Thoughts they just live on?
