… 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 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 lookin’ 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 out of 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 lookin’ 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’s not how)
It used to be (it used to be)
Staring at plastic palm trees
