Used to drive 'round in your wrangler

In our deadbeat town

In the parking lot

We would talk about all the drama

Had nothing better to do.

Now I go out with my new friends

To a party downtown

In a new dress

'til the liquor runs out

Every weekend

Go out with somebody new.

You could say that all my dreams came true

Oh, what an underwhelming view.

Thought that it was real

Thought that it was worth it

Out the window, everything was looking perfect

Caught in a dream

It's not what it seems.

Thought that I was fine sitting in the backseat

In the mirror really looked like I was happy

Caught in a dream

'til something in my head said

"I'm sorry"

You were just looking at plastic palm trees

Plastic palm trees.

Didn't know you need a motive

To keep a friend around

To find a boyfriend who doesn't mess around

Bet if you saw me doing well

You'd hit me outta the blue.

You could say that all my dreams came true

Oh, what an oh-so-lonely view.

Thought that it was real

Thought that it was worth it

Out the window, everything was looking perfect

Caught in a dream

It's not what it seems.

Thought that I was fine sitting in the backseat

In the mirror really looked like I was happy

Caught in a dream

'til something in my head said

"I'm sorry"

You were just looking at plastic palm trees

Plastic palm trees.

It's not how it used to be

Staring at plastic palm trees

It's not how it used to be

Staring at plastic palm trees.
