Back In That Time

[ Verse 1 ] We used to cuddle on the sofa,
Now you just stare at your phone.
So enthralled by what your friends are tweeting,
You forget that you're not alone.
I know that it's a modern world,
Over-run with technology.
But the time we share together,
It shouldn't be the priority.

[ Bridge ] Sometimes I envy people,
That grew up in earlier days.
They could focus on each other,
Without a smartphone in the way.

[ Chorus ] What was it like,
To hold each other tight.
A movie in the V.C.R.,
Your phone across the room hooked to a wall.
What was it like,
To look into their eyes.
No D.M. interruptions, 
No apps and all their functions.
I'd love to spend a night back in that time.

[ Verse ] We used to talk for hours,
But now texting is your choice.
You think it's more efficient,
But I just miss your voice.
I want to hear your kiss goodnight,
Not see x's on a screen.
I feel so disconnected,
I want you here with me.

[ Bridge ] Sometimes I envy people,
That grew up in earlier days.
They spent more time face to face, 
Cause they weren't a text away.

[ Chorus ] What was it like,
To hold each other tight.
A movie in the V.C.R.,
Your phone across the room hooked to a wall.
What was it like,
To look into their eyes.
No D.M. interruptions, 
No apps and all their functions.
I'd love to spend a night back in that time.

[ Chorus ] What was it like,
To hold each other tight.
A movie in the V.C.R.,
Your phone across the room hooked to a wall.
What was it like,
To look into their eyes.
No D.M. interruptions, 
No apps and all their functions.
I'd love to spend a night back in that time.
