lessons in crime - why do i hold on to the past? lyrics

[verse 1]
i am a passenger in my own car
just watching out the window, wondering where i’ll go
it’s scary that i got this far
sitting in my seat
eat, sleep, and then repeat

[chorus 1]
so, why do i hold on the to the past?
i know that it can’t be like the last time
the taste of nostalgia’s such a sweet lie
how do we know while we’re here?

[verse 2]
looking back at my whole life
watch it like a movie
edit out the worst scenes
gloss over the details
pick out the best to keep
we’re made out of memories
plеase don’t forget me

[chorus 2]
why do i hold on thе to the past?
i know that it can’t be like the last time
the taste of nostalgia’s such a sweet lie
how do we know while we’re here?
[bridge]
at 23, still got so much to see
but i’m feeling like i’ve lived forever simultaneously
everything i see’s distorted through the lens of me
still, i cannot explain why the present and the past don’t feel the same
it’s all in my mind
we’ll keep falling through time
i hope i’ll meet you there

looking back at my whole life
why do i hold on to the past?
looking back at my whole life
why do i waste my time?

[chorus 3]
why do i hold on the to the past?
i know that it can’t be like the last time
the taste of nostalgia’s such a sweet lie
how do we know while we’re here?

i’m scared that my life will go too fast
and when i get old i’ll be left asking
“why did i let my best years pass
saying, ‘how do we know while we’re here?'”
