lirik lagu alfie james - nostalgia

intro ~ alfie james
yeah man…
come on now
this one takes me back…
ooh, you feel that?

verse 1 — motif the saint
mama had nat king cole on repeat
while she baked truth into every sweet
pop strung lights like he built the stars
never needed gifts, we had that heart
bible on the table, cider on the stove
love in the air like halos in rows
first snow hit and the city hushed
neighborhood kids out, cheeks all flushed
we sang carols in secondhand coats
pockets full of nothing, but joy still spoke
uncle danced like david in the kitchen
praise on his lips and the turkey still sizzlin’
i ain’t forget those candle~lit nights —
god in the center, our spirits in flight

verse 2 — alfie james
i remember worn~out pajamas, still warm from the night
sneakin’ down the stairs before the crack of dawn
smell of cinnamon, lights dim but warm
that quiet kind of magic before the storm
my brother built forts with tinsel and chairs
and i swore i saw santa — caught him unaware
even now, i close my eyes and drift —
to a time when belief was the greatest gift
chorus — alfie james
this ain’t just snow, it’s memory fallin’ slow
every flake’s a face, every light a glow
i see ghosts of joy in the windowpane
frozen in laughter, untouched by pain
take me back, just for a little bit —
god, i miss that kind of innocence

verse 3 — alfie james
she used to hum carols while brushing her hair
wore that red sweater every single year
i still hang the angel she gave me once
even if the star don’t shine like it once
fireplace cracklin’, chestnuts and tea
a room full of people who looked after me
but now it’s just silence and my own song
tryna pretend that nothing’s gone

chorus — alfie james
this ain’t just snow, it’s memory fallin’ slow
every flake’s a face, every light a glow
i see ghosts of joy in the windowpane
frozen in laughter, untouched by pain
take me back, just for a little bit —
god, i miss that kind of innocence
verse 4 — alfie james
i walked past our old street on the 24th night
the house still dressed up in those same d~mn lights
i stood there — man — just tryin’ not to cry
but the past hit hard, like the cold in july
that radio played “have yourself a merry…”
and i felt that lump — slow, heavy, scary
look, i don’t curse much when i reminisce —
but f~ck, i miss the way that christmas used to hit

verse 5 — motif the saint
i remember the choir in my grandfather’s church
voices like angels, no rehe~rs~d
the pews were packed, the heater broke
still we sang ‘til heaven soaked
grandma in pearls, hands raised high
cried every time on “o holy night.”
it wasn’t about presents, it wasn’t the tree —
it was love in the room and the lamb set free
i used to get bored in the scripture parts
but now i carry those words in my heart
talkin’ isaiah, talkin’ luke
talkin’ real joy, talkin’ truth
we had grace for breakfast, prayer by noon
a hymn by dusk under bethlehem’s moon
i’ve seen the world, i’ve lost a few
but faith got me like it always do
i teach my son to bow his head
to thank the lord before the bread
to light that candle in a dark place
to recognize his gift in grace
yeah, nostalgia ain’t just feelin’ blue
it’s a map back home when you need it, too
so light a match, and let it glow —
for every soul we’ve had to let go
they ain’t gone, they just moved —
to a room with a better view
chorus — alfie james
this ain’t just snow, it’s memory fallin’ slow
every flake’s a face, every light a glow
i see ghosts of joy in the windowpane
frozen in laughter, untouched by pain
take me back, just for a little bit —
god, i miss that kind of innocence
