Bring back the 90’s

Make us remember for a bit

These days we never grew up in

So we could sing and understand like they once did

Oh, bring back that old 90’s core

Fill our hearts, make them soar

Play that familiar tune that makes us feel older

Yet the one that helped us remember a time when we were innocent and young

And those strings

Those familiar strings

They make me fall in love with someone I never met

Maybe an idea, a concept, or just a vague notion

But I hope somewhere out there, out in the world’s chaos and commotion, it’s these songs she’s singing

Painfully reminiscing - looking for the one she never knew

Just somewhere out there

Yea, I hope she’s looking for me

Though there’s nowhere to look

Yea, I had a dream, where I met a girl named Iris

And I told her to slide on over next to me

But she told me that I was one of them

The one’s who’s dream they’ll never realize

Now I said:

You’re not so high above me, so help me conceptualize

Because I know you're more than a dream

And you’re more than what you seem

Yea, I know it will never be true, 

but let us be 90’s kids

 Just for now,

Just for now

Just for tonight

I woke up and found myself taken to my father's gravestone all the way in Alabama

And I found myself weeping in the November rain

But I felt a hand over my shoulder, as a voice said:

Son, don't you cry

Don't let your heart turn cold and die

Remember to be a better man

And He left, and then there was no rain

But I still feel like a child

Because I want to be like you

Young and all brand new

But being young is something you can’t replicate, no

But innocence doesn’t have to be something we got to pretend

So these thoughts, please apprehend 

These ideas, they're eating me up

Taking me down under

Yea, I can’t live with them (anymore)

And now there’s no more toy blocks

There’s no more dreams and wishes

Except for the wish I have to be a child in a decade I never knew

Because maybe things would have been simpler

Maybe things may have been easier

But if it’s all the same, what is there to hold on to?

Yea, I know it will never be true, 

but let us be 90’s kids

Just for now,

Just for now

Just for tonight
