Tate Mcrae Plastic Palm Trees Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Used to drive around in your Wrangler in our 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 till the liquor runs out, every weekend
Go out somebody new

[Pre-Chorus]
You could say that all my dreams came true
Oh, what an underwhelming view
[Chorus]
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
Till 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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
You could say that all my dreams came true
Oh, what an oh-so-lonely view

[Chorus]
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
Till 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
[Outro]
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
