Yesterday I found something in my room   It was a G.I. Joe comic book that I had   And suddenly a feeling overcame my gloom   And I realized how things were back in the past   and I'll never feel the same   and I'll always feel the pain   of nostalgia   because I know someday I'll find inside   another reason why   I still want to hold on   And so I've realized what I want to be   No matter how pathetic I may sound to you   But at least I still can hold on to those memories   And now I've found a way to make it through   and I'll never feel the same   and I'll always feel the pain   of nostalgia   because I know someday I'll find inside   another reason why   I still want to hold on   I know I know I cannot be   Trapped inside a world of yesterday   But you can't tell me it's not true   That it feels good to hold on
