[Verse 1]

I bet that you love me like I love you

But I should know that gambling just don't pay

So I look up to the sky

And I wonder what it'll be like in days gone by

As I sit and bathe in the wave of nostalgia for an age yet to come

I always used to dream of the past

But like they say, yesterday never comes

Sometimes there's a song in my brain

And I feel that my heart knows the refrain

I guess it's just the music that brings on nostalgia for an age yet to come


[Hook]

Ah, nostalgia for an age yet to come

Nostalgia for an age yet to come


[Verse 2]

About the future, I only can reminisce

For what I've had is what I'll never get

And although this may sound strange

My future and my past are presently disarranged

And I'm surfing on a wave of nostalgia for an age yet to come

I look, I only see what I don't know

All that was strong, invincible, is slain

Takes more than sunshine to make everything fine

And I feel like I'm trapped in the middle of time

And this constant feeling of nostalgia for an age yet to come


[Hook]

Ah, nostalgia for an age yet to come


[Verse 3]

About the future, I only can reminisce

For what I've had is what I'll never get

And although this may sound strange

My future and my past are presently disarranged

And I'm surfing on a wave of nostalgia for an age yet to come

I look, I only see what I don't know

All that was strong, invincible, is slain

Takes more than sunshine to make everything fine

And I feel like I'm caught in the middle of time

And this constant feeling of nostalgia for an age yet to come


[Hook]

Ah, nostalgia for an age yet to come


[Outro]

Nostalgia for an age yet to come

Nostalgia for an age yet to come
