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
Oh
I long for those memories that shine so bright
[bridge - interlude]
We were pen-pals, sharing our hearts
In ink-stained pages where our stories start
Now it's notifications,
No time for the sentiment,
No more time for meeting
[Pre-chorus]
We've lost the art of patience,
the joy of anticipation
To express with words, now just abbreviations
LOL, LMAO, T-F-T-I
No more long goodbyes
(On the telephone)
So don't at me,
Don't D-M me,
Come see me by the pier
And we'll grab a couple beers
[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
[outro]
[Bridge]
In a world of likes and shares
We forget what truly matters
It's the moments we hold dear
The friendships and the laughter
So let's unplug and rewind
Back to those simpler times
Where joy was in the little things
And life was truly divine
