Lyrics
[Verse]
In our minds
We rewind to simpler days
No Google
No Facebook
No cellphones
Just the beach
The bonfire
And familiar faces
Roasting s'mores
Sharing laughter in those places
[Pre-Chorus]
No distractions
Just the sound of crashing waves
Telling scary stories under moonlit shades
Food on the BBQ
The aroma fills the air
Friends gathered 'round
Making memories to share
[Chorus]
Oh
How I miss those simple days
No influencers or Youtube Ads in our way
Phoneless Concerts
Loud Arcades
Spooky Halloween nights
Oh
I long for those memories that shine so bright
[Verse 2]
Oh
The simple days
How I long for them
I swear
No Uber Eats
No Uber fees
No hustle and no glare
No OnlyFans
Just simple plans
Popping a cassette into the stereo
A nice girl in the shotgun seat
Windows rolled down
Feeling the summer breeze
[Chorus]
Oh
How I miss those simple days
No influencers or Youtube Ads in our way
Phoneless Concerts
Loud Arcades
Spooky Halloween nights
Oh
I long for those memories that shine so bright
[Verse 4]
Cruising down the sidewalk
Eight wheels beneath our feet
Carving up the streets
Feeling the summer heat
No Netflix
No Spotify
Just movies on DVD
From Blockbuster nights
The simple days set us free
[interlude]
[Verse - calm, melow, bass plucking ]
Just yesterday, I was
Writing to my pen pal
licking up bitter seal
Looking forever stamps
Telling her about summer camp
No notifications
No L-O-L, L-M-A-O,
No T-F-T-I
When we're all online
No one says goodbye
[outro]
So don't at me,
Don't D-M me,
Don't text me,
Call me,
Come see me by the pier
We'll grab some beers
Let go our fears
Laugh out all our tears
Singing our prayers
For everyone
out there
[Outro - calm, slow, solo voice]
Oh
How I miss those simple days
Eight wheels beneath our feet
Feeling the summer heat
I miss the beach
the bonfire
The movies on DVD
Those simple days set us free
Oh
Oh
Oh how I miss those simple days
