Lyrics Louden Swain - Past Perfect

God we look so
So in the know
So in the moment/It’s there
And that’s all we care

But now
Its taking all I can muster
Just to wake up, all pale and flustered
The cards been folded , I busted
The plates are stacked and the shelves aren’t dusted

Taking me back/A picture on my lap
A dedicated slap on the back
Congratulations

And now
Its taken all I can muster
Just to wake up all pale and flustered
The cards been folded I busted
The plates are stacked and the shelves are dusted
This faint nostalgia cannot be trusted
Take it back (my past)

Every little picture shows a place
Better than the last one
Every smile it hurts me just the same
Cause I’m sad for all the lost songs
Frame it cause it hides the jagged edge
Better than the last one
Put it in the front to block the ledge

Always just smiles/Always for the lense
Always for your friends/Always for their sake
