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 till 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 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 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 could say that all my dreams came true Oh, 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 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 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
