Longing For What Never Was

from Third Guessing by John Dunbar

/

lyrics

Idealizing, Not Realizing,
Unsurprising
Highlights selective, Semi-corrective,
So protective
Soften the focus, The real truth would choke us,
Hides what broke us

Watch out for what nostalgia does
You're longing for what never was

Hard to explain this, Wise to dismiss
It turns into sweet bliss
Don't be perfecting, The art of inspecting
Keep rejecting

Watch out for what nostalgia does
You're longing for what never was
Watch out for what nostalgia does
You're longing for what never was

And soon enough you'll find
There's no need to rewind
And when the past is judged
The clues are often fudged

Watch out for what nostalgia does
You're longing for what never was
