You say I can't complain
Coz life right now is easier in so many ways
They were your glory days, but if I close my eyes
I can almost see them
I can feel the earth you used to build your freedom,
Brick by Brick you grew and changed with every season
Nostalgia, for something that ain't mine
Another place in time that I could only dream about in
Black and White, I must be colour blind,
In the corners of my mind, I always seem to find
I'm comparing my own life with nostalgia
I say it's not the same
Our songs have lost their stories but we sing them anyway
Our troubles seem so fake, anything that's broken we can just replace
But a problem isn't solved by throwing it away
I wish we could have learnt much more from yesterday
Nostalgia, for something that ain't mine
Another place in time that I can only dream about in
Black and White, I must be colour blind,
In the corners of my mind, I always seem to find
I'm comparing my own life
Will people look back on these years, With their technicolour tears
The way we look back on the birth of rock on roll
Will our mile a minute lives seem like such a simple time
Will we be retro, shine like diamonds in their eyes
Nostalgia, for something that ain't mine
Another place in time that I can only dream about in
Black and White, I must be colour blind,
In the corners of my mind, I always seem to find
I'm comparing my own life with nostalgia
