[Verse 1: Time]

I give everyone a chance cause the doctor said abort me

I killed the negative now the world can't ignore me

I ate the planet and I vomited lava

I flushed the toilet on the gossip and drama

No time to be tired, only to be inspired

Cause I write to light people's minds on fire

Turn my doubt to ashes, let this be my greatest song

Every tracks a classic, who cares if it gets hated on

I wrote this to the typewriter rain on the roof

Then the snow fell slow as it whispered the truth

I used to make the sun disappear with my thumb

Now I kill thoughts with words and fight fear with my tongue

We used to crush quarters on the train tracks

Now the pressures similar, I got to keep my brain relaxed

I'm grateful for the memories and to reminisce

We give thanks for the past but Newstalgia is this


[Hook: Katie Gold]

There's something to say I see explained

There's always more I can do away with

This is the battle of the past and tomorrow

Thoughts they just live on?


[Verse 2: Time]

My dad used to tell me think before I speak

So I sat down and wrote before I spoke to this beat

If you're listening to this, consider yourself family

Thanks for taking the time to try and understand me

This is for Nikay that I met in Santa Fe

He told me don't sweat it let go and fall into place

So I exhaled expectation and took a breath of patience

Now everything's Newstalgia no memory is wasted

I can still smell the rusty leaves on the pavement

My friend is beating cancer so I know I can make it

Life's a photo, we develop from the negative

You gotta let go of the pain or be a slave to it

Put the past to sleep and awake in the present

Smelled the rain on the sidewalk, the moon was a crescent

Milky Way over me, North Denver under me

I love music, but family's still number 1 to me
