Nostalgia Kids

[Verse 1]
Plastic aisles and paper signs
Grandma’s hand
That Friday line
Sticker books and cereal prizes
Whole wide world in those low prices
Birthday cakes at the corner place
Greasy booths
That orange glaze
Arcade glow in a burger joint
Four more tokens
What’s the point of leaving?
[Chorus]
Nostalgia kids
We remember all of this
From the jingles to the checkout lanes
Every logo in our brains
Nostalgia kids
Living in the photographs
All the stores
All the toys we knew
Still feel real
‘cause they’re part of you
(ohh, nostalgia kids)
[Verse 2]
Saturday
Push the cart
Begging hard for the trading cards
VHS by the candy racks
“Be kind
Rewind” on the plastic flaps
Pizza place with the singing stage
Birthday songs way off the page
Ball pit air in our tangled hair
Mom said “five more minutes there”
[Chorus]
Nostalgia kids
We remember all of this
From the jingles to the checkout lanes
Every logo in our brains
Nostalgia kids
Living in the photographs
All the stores
All the toys we knew
Still feel real
‘cause they’re part of you
(yeah, nostalgia kids)
[Bridge]
Some doors closed
All boarded up
Names we loved just vanished
But every time that smell comes back
It’s like the past unpacks its baggage
We grew up
But we still keep
Those bright back rooms of memory
You and me in those plastic crowns
Whole lost towns inside our dreams
[Chorus]
Nostalgia kids
We remember all of this
From the jingles to the checkout lanes
Every logo in our brains
Nostalgia kids
Living in the photographs
All the stores
All the toys we knew
Still feel real
‘cause they’re part of you
(ohh, nostalgia kids, hey!)
[Outro]
Nostalgia kids
On a late-night drive
Sax sings low as the road rolls by
All those ghosts of the neon signs
Riding shotgun in our minds

Retro synth-wave track with warm analog pads, neon arps, and big gated snares; male vocals sitting upfront. Verses keep a cruising, mid-tempo pulse with soft electric bass and distant tom fills; chorus blooms with soaring sax lines, stacked “oh-oh” gang vocals, and shimmering bells. Sax takes short melodic replies between lines, final chorus lifts with extra harmonies and brighter keys., saxophone
