premature nostalgia - delikately lyrics

Loading...

i watched you walk through the fluorescent spill
of the 24*hour supermarket
hands in pockets like you weren’t holding something back
and i thought god, i’ll never get this version of you again

i was pretending not to notice
how everything about us already felt like a throwback
premature nostalgia our final religion
and baby, i’ve built an altar out of your “right now”

you’re not gone, but i’m already archiving
clutching the moment like it’s antique china
cracking jokes like elegies in drag
smile lacquered in future grief
falling for moments that are already leaving me

you looked cinematic in that liminal hour
golden, in that decaying, unreliable kind of way
like a sun*stained letter i forgot i sent
i kissed you like a habit, or a psalm
god, we’re gonna call this “the good part”
one day, aren’t we?

i was pretending not to notice
how everything about us already felt like a throwback
romanticism is a slow death early mourning
and i’m dying in the middle of it
you’re not gone, but i’m already archiving
clutching the moment like it’s antique china
cracking jokes like elegies in drag
smile lacquered in future grief
falling for moments that are already leaving me

this love’s still warm, but browning at the edges
falling for moments that are already leaving me
i grieve in real*time, like a scholar of sorrow
your youth peeling at the corners like old polaroids
and me? i’m curating, annotating your laughter
like it’s already out of print

you’re still here but i’m embalming you sweetly
perfumed with memory, preserved in irony
this isn’t a breakup it’s a preservation ritual
a eulogy dressed as affection
and you you’re the patron saint of slipping away

premature nostalgia our final religion
smiling while my heart rehe*rs*s the end ah
