I try not to live my life in the past
Never could understand why memories of happier times
Make the future seem so sad
And now all the days go by so fast
The summers used to be long, our hearts used to be strong
And 8-bits never did us wrong
If you could freeze one happy time, what would it be?
That day in September, we climbed up that tree
Do you even remember the trembling leaves drifting away?
They couldn't hold on, and neither could we
I sit at this window and watch these clowns roll by
I catch a glimpse of regret reflected in their tired eyes
If their gaze would stray beyond the everyday to the periphery
They'd see the puzzled looks of the wonderless souls
Who placed all of their hopes in a machine
It broke my heart when you told me that logic is for loners
Well I have been wondering: do you think it's too late?
To go back to BASIC, to re-roll our fate?
To chill in the basement and never grow up?
'cause 64K was more than enough
Now as I get older I find it kinda strange
That I remember your laugh but can't remember your face
I wouldn't blame you if you have moved on
I ask just one little favour - don't forget met?
