about

A song about simpler times when "hopes and dreams didn't come from a screen" and when the world wasn't in our pocket.

lyrics

When the feeling is empty
When the weather gets you feeling down
And you think of the times when we were young
You would run to the future
Now you wish you could turn back time
And you think of the times when we were young
Do you follow your head or your heart?
We would fall of the edge then carry on from the start
We were never afraid when we were young

Do you remember the days when we were never apart?
With the world unplugged was it better to be left in the dark?

When the lights go out now you see it
You can't let go of this feeling
Do you remember all your hopes and dreams
When happiness didn't come from the screen
With the lights gone out now you see it
And appreciate the times when we were young

When you don't wanna worry
And there's nothing you can do but hit the ground
So you think of the times of when we were young
Looking back at days gone by
When the memories fade
Can you feel it inside?
Now you cherish the times when we were young

Do you remember the simple things we were waiting for
With the world in our pocket there's nothing else to see anymore

When the lights go out now you see it
You can't let go of this feeling
Do you remember all your hopes and dreams
When happiness didn't come from the screen?
With the lights gone out now you see it
And appreciate the times when we were young
