Plastic Palm Trees Lyrics

Used to drive around in your Wrangler in a deadbeat town
In the parking lot we would talk about all the drama
Had nothin' 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 can say that all my dreams came true
I wouldn't know the world meant view

Thought that it was real, thought that it was worth it
Out the window everything was lookin' perfect
Caught in a dream, it's not what it seems (Ah-ah-ah)
Thought that I was fine sittin' in the backseat
In the mirror, really looked like I was happy
Caught in a dream, 'til somethin' in my head said (Ah-ah-ah)
"I'm sorry you were just lookin' at plastic palm trees" (Ah-ah-ah)
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 doin' well you'd hit me out of the blue

You can say that all my dreams came true
I wouldn't know so lonely view

Thought that it was real, thought that it was worth it
Out the window everything was lookin' perfect
Caught in a dream, is not what it seems (Ah-ah-ah)
Thought that I was fine sittin' in the backseat
In the mirror, really looked like I was happy
Caught in a dream, 'til somethin' in my head said (Ah-ah-ah)
"I'm sorry you were just lookin' at plastic palm trees" (Ah-ah-ah)
Plastic palm trees

It's not how
It used to be
Starin' at plastic palm trees
It's not how (It's not how)
It used to be (It used to be)
Starin' at plastic palm trees
