Looking Forward To The Past

Hallelujah night queen, summer dripping ice cream Never tasted so sweet, shoes are sticking to the concrete Backlot shooting star, took a swing with my good arm Rang the bell so hard, nearly woke up the graveyard Simple conversations make my mind fill in the gaps Heavy hearts could make it all collapse It was built to function but it wasn’t built to last Guess I’m looking forward to the past So high that your nose bleeds, the rollercoaster so steep Can’t remember your wild screams, why don’t you remind me A flash from the photo booth, captured the only proof Best fifty cents I could lose, worst frame to put a nail through Simple conversations make my mind fill in the gaps Heavy hearts could make it all collapse It was built to function but it wasn’t built to last Guess I’m looking forward to the past You want something different and I want something else I know that there’s a name for that but can’t remember how its spelled I can tell you how it happened but you remember how it felt Its a soft goodbye just for one more night Simple conversations make my mind fill in the gaps Heavy hearts could make it all collapse It was built to function but it wasn’t built to last Guess I’m looking forward to the past
