My Tamagotchi died in '98

It passed away, in my hand that day, '98 it was late [Chorus] Now I'm lookin' back, all those simple tracks Dial-up tones and those bulky Macs Life was plain and sweet in my childhood seat Now tech's a giant leap, not a small feat Every time I sit and watch them TikTok shows My Tamagotchi died in '98, now my back's gone and I can't stay up late With my feet up, rockin', rememberin' games Where the biggest quest was the Oregon Trail [Chorus] Them chat room laughs and that screechin' modem Life moved slower, our hearts weren't stolen By these screens and likes, and endless scrollin' Rememberin’ times (oh times) We'd ride our bikes, no GPS in sight Skies were open wide, adventure our guide Neighborhood legends, we were kings of the fort Not a pixel in hand, just our wits to report [Chorus] Long before the rush, of a thousand notifications On rollerblades, we'd fly down the street Late for dinner, but life was so sweet Manual mischief, no digital trace A Polaroid moment, could never replace [Chorus] Gone are the days of the FM sound Mixed tapes made, with love that we found Endless summers, fireflies by night Flip phones folding, stars shining bright Carrying the weight of the world so light Now time's sped up, it's a different fight [Chorus] Simpler times, on that AOL dial When 'You’ve got mail' would make us all smile
