What the Hell Happened? (The Other Side of Nostalgia)

What the hell happened to being cool?
I was good at it once.  I was good at high school.
This wasn't supposed to happen, I swear.
They said I was smart, I was headed somewhere.
I spent nine years in the freezer.  Don't know where they've gone.
Nine years of nothing in hindsight's minutes long.
I get wicked hangovers when nostalgia's my drink.
I'm a happy rememberer, just don't let me think
About my life back when I was really myself.
Am I me anymore?  I'm not anyone else.
I'm like my own evil twin.  I'm in between gears.
I haven't done anything right in nine years.
The boy I was back then, he wouldn't recognize me now.
I might not have improved, but  I'm less boyish, anyhow.
