lyrics

This is how we play, in our youth
But it won’t go away, that’s the truth

‘cause this is timeless, it’s online it’s everywhere
And you will find it’s not the crime they all declare

When we get older
There’s no controller

It’s obvious I yearn, for simpler times
Before they made me burn, and blew my mind

I had my joystick, wasn’t love sick to my soul
And would I trade the choice I made, well I don’t know

Of course I understand that youth with lose its bloom
(and yeah I know) Can’t stay a child forever, sitting in my room
(We have to grow) But I was satisfied cross legged on the floor
(With all my friends) We made amends just playing on the 64
(and of course) I’ve no remorse about the life I led since then
But I would go back in a heartbeat just to play like that again
