ashley ye - nostalgic for a daydream lyrics
[verse 1]
i never guessed that it’d be you
you’re the shyest one in the room
ponytail and glasses like a know+all
don’t scream heartbreaker for the long haul
but time went by, we start to talk
your witty quips between class walks
staying up and hearing your laughter
made me fall for happily ever after
[chorus]
you are a manic pixie girl’s dream
feels like i’m living in a john green
i try to give credit where it’s due
so every line i write leads back to you
inside jokes, panera runs, and cuffed jeans
you make me nostalgic for a daydream
though you’re not, these feelings they are true
so i write this song as an ode to you
[post+chorus]
this is an ode to you
what i owe to you
all for you
[verse 2]
the months went by and you outgrew
the true version that we both knew
every move seemed effortlessly cool
then again, we were in high school
the time we spent tapered to an end
permanent pause, no book end
but distance makes a girl grow fonder
my memories drew out a new less+flawed her
[chorus]
you are a manic pixie girl’s dream
feels like i’m living in a john green
i try to give credit where it’s due
so every line i write leads back to you
inside jokes, panera runs, and cuffed jeans
you make me nostalgic for a daydream
though you’re not, these feelings they are true
so i write this song as an ode to you
[post+chorus]
this is an ode to you
what i owe to you
all for you
[bridge]
it’s been years and now you have forgot my face
and for me, i no longer feel you slip away
our lives no longer follow the same line
as if they’ve never been intertwined
it’s been years and now i cannot feel the same
and for you, your apathy towards me remains
i’ve resigned, you’ll never be revitalized
but through this song you’ll always be romanticized
[chorus]
you are the credits in my end scene
an ideal, tombstone of my late teens
i’m left with yarns that are all spun through
so every line i write leads back to you
inside jokes, panera runs, and cuffed jeans
you made me nostalgic for a daydream
though you’re not, these feelings they were true
so i wrote this song as an ode to you
[post+chorus]
this is an ode to you
what i owe to you
all for you
