[Verse 1] Back when the rumors stayed rumors On late-night TV We laughed at the guy with the billboard sign On the corner by the pharmacy Now my mom’s got links in the family chat My dad’s talking in code I miss when the wildest thing in the room Was a magic show [Chorus] Can we get back to a time When conspiracy theories weren't real Just stories that spun in a stranger's mind Not headlines we could feel When “they’re out to get us” was just That one friend getting too deep Can we get back to a time When the crazy stayed make-believe [Verse 2] Used to roll eyes at the X‑Files theme Now it sounds like the news Every rabbit hole’s got a staircase down And everyone’s got proof I just wanna argue ’bout which band was best Not “secret hidden plans” Scroll in peace About pets and trips Not maps and shadowy clans [Chorus] Can we get back to a time When conspiracy theories weren't real Just stories that spun in a stranger's mind Not headlines we could feel When “they’re out to get us” was just That one friend getting too deep Can we get back to a time When the crazy stayed make-believe [Bridge] Maybe we all just got tired Of saying “I don't know” So we stitched up every question With a villain in a coat I’m begging for boring answers For once Let it be plain Let the truth be dull as daylight Take the plot twist away (oh please) [Chorus] Can we get back to a time When conspiracy theories weren't real Just stories that spun in a stranger's mind Not headlines we could feel When “they’re out to get us” was just That one friend getting too deep Can we get back to a time When the crazy stayed make-believe [Outro] Back when the rumors stayed rumors And we laughed them out of the yard Can we get back Can we get back When the crazy stayed make-believe When the crazy stayed make-believe
