Lyrics

[Verse 1] Used to drive 'round in your Wrangler in our dead beat 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 [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 '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 [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 '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 [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
