      I’m born in 2002, so this was 4 years before my time, but this period in music spefically is all i listen to, damn I wish I lived and was young in the 90s, there is no type of music that gives me these feelings other than the 90s

    She calls me from the cold
    Just when I was low
    Feeling short of stable
    All that she intends
    And all she keeps inside
    Isn't on the label
    She says she's ashamed
    Can she take me for a while?
    Can I be a friend?
    We'll forget the past
    Or maybe I'm not able
    And I break at the bend
    We're here and now
    Will we ever be again?
    'Cause I have found
    All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade
    Away again
    She dreams a champagne dream
    Strawberry surprise
    Pink linen on white paper
    Lavender and cream
    Fields of butterflies
    Reality escapes her
    She says that love
    Is for fools that fall behind
    And I'm somewhere between
    I never really know
    A killer from a savior
    'Til I break at the bend
    We're here and now
    Will we ever be again?
    'Cause I have found
    All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade
    Away again
    It's too far away for me to hold
    Too far away
    It's too far away for me to hold
    Too far away
    Ah-ow
    Yeah, it's too far away for me to hold
    Too far away, ah-ow
    It's too far away for me to hold
    Too far away
    It's too far away for me to hold
    Too far away, ah-ow
    It's too far away for me to hold
    Too far away
    Guess I'll let it go
