[Verse 1]

I'm the red balloon at the carnival

That you let go of to see how

High you got when you took your first hit

Felt so good when it hit your lips

Didn't it didn't it?

Yeah

I'm the night your borrowed your daddy's car

So you could look cool when you picked her

Up all night with a desk light studying science

Dying inside cuz you hated that shit

Didn't ya, didn't ya?

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh,
 throw your hands way in the air if you feel me

Oh, when the party's over

You still talk about me

[Chorus]

You can find me 
in your hometown

Burning up the radio

You know me

Got the scars, posters and Polaroid photos

Lift you up

And I pull you down

Long gone but I'm still around

Yeah I know all about ya

They call me Nostalgia

Na nostalgia na na na nostalgia

[Verse 2]

I'm that little apartment up in New York

You could barely afford you were so

Broke his heart when you went off to college

Hurt so bad being that honest

Didn't it, didn't it?

I was your birthday night when he burned the chicken

Lookin’ back now it was your

Favorite song on the TRL countdown

All day Sugar Ray singing it out

“I just wanna fly..”

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh 
Throw your hands way in the air if you feel me

Oh when the party's over
 you still talk about me

[Chorus]

You can find me 
in your hometown

Burning up the radio

You know me

Got the scars, posters and Polaroid photos

Lift you up

And I pull you down

Long gone but I'm still around

Yeah I know all about ya

They call me Nostalgia

Na nostalgia na na na nostalgia

Na nostalgia na na na nostalgia

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh 
Throw your hands way in the air if you feel me

Oh when the party's over
 you still talk about me

[Chorus]

You can find me 
in your hometown

Burning up the radio

You know me

Got the scars, posters and Polaroid photos

Lift you up

And I pull you down

Long gone but I'm still around

Yeah I know all about ya

They call me Nostalgia

Na nostalgia na na na nostalgia

Na nostalgia na na na nostalgia
