lyrics

I took a picture
Of places we've been
Little memories
Of who we were then
Spoke in a whisper
So not to offend the here and now

I took a picture of places we'd go
Just kids riding bikes down neighborhood roads
Or walking to school, rain or snow
The where and how

I took a picture
And put it in a frame
Up on a mantle
Dated with a name
And all these places
Are never the same when we look back

I took a ride past
House we would live
Like paper boats
Sailing adrift
Never knowing where
Not knowing if we'd find our way

Oh nostalgia I hardly knew ya
Oh nostalgia hallelujah

I took a video a
And saved it just for me
And I may share it
And maybe you can see
How familiar
Places can be so far away

I took a picture
And put it in a frame
Up on a mantle
Dated with a name
All these places
Are never the same when we look back

I took a picture
And put it in its place
Stuck to a rocket
And shot to outer space
And when we get there at the end of the race
We can look back

Oh nostalgia I hardly knew ya
Oh nostalgia hallelujah
Oh nostalgia I wish I knew ya
Oh nostalgia hallelu
Hallelujah
Hallelu Hallelujah
