[Verse 1]
Every now and then, I think of you
I think of all the things we'd do
Drinking Diamond White and Malibu
And then when it run out, Taboo
We would stay up late and fool around
Caught up in deep-and-meaningfuls
I told you things I'd never told myself
I grew up right in front of you

[Pre-Chorus]
I forgive, you forget me
That's just how it's meant to be (That's just how it's meant to be)
My nostalgic time machine
Transporting me back to you
And you to me

[Chorus]
Voices
Seven of them inside of me
Each requiring autonomy, autonomy
Hostage
Trapped forever in a prison
Nothing's truly ever what it seems

[Verse 2]
Every now and then, I think of you
Nirvana playing in your room
"Choking on the ashes of her enemy,"
You'd sing out of tune
"I'm not like them but I can pretend,"
You would often say to me
And I knew exactly what you meant
We could never be completely free
[Pre-Chorus]
I forgive, you forget me
That's just how it's meant to be
My nostalgic time machine
Transporting me back to you
And you to me
And me to you
And you to me

[Chorus]
Voices
Seven of them inside of me
Each requiring autonomy
Oh, autonomy
Hostage
Trapped forever in a prison
Nothing's truly ever what it seems

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Took a little time to be without you
Musicality - it nearly left me
We were intertwined like fire and water (Fire and fire and water)
The reason I was shook - because of you
You took all my yearning and all of my hunger
I was like a child without a mother
I can't forget the cassettes
That you made for me everyday
I mistook your sad look
For the end, maybe I was too hasty

[Chorus]
Voices
Seven of them inside of me
Each requiring autonomy
Oh, autonomy
Hostage
Trapped forever in a prism
Nothing's truly ever what it seems

(Every now and then I think of you)
(I think of all the things we'd do)
(Every now and then I think of you)
(I think of all the things we'd do)

[Outro]
(My nostalgic time machine)
(Transporting me back to you)
(My nostalgic time machine)
(Transporting me back to you)
(And you to me)
