LYRICS
We wake up to a ringtone,
Before we see the sun,
A thousand notifications,
And nowhere left to run.
We say we're living better,
With a screen inside our hand,
We know the world in seconds,
But don't know who we are.
Grandpa walked for miles,
Just to meet a friend,
We drive across the city,
Then text him in the end.
We got everything,
But nothing feels enough,
We made the world so easy,
Then made our lives so tough.
We're faster than life,
But missing the ride,
We're online all day,
And lonely inside.
We buy brand-new memories,
And throw the old away,
We've got a thousand ways to talk,
But nothing real to say.
Oh-oh-oh...
Take me back tonight,
To the slow and simple life.
We order love in minutes,
Delivered to our door,
Swipe left on forever,
Then wonder what love's for.
We photograph our dinners,
Before we taste a bite,
We post about our happiness,
Then cry alone at night.
They had an old radio,
One song could make them dance,
We have a million playlists,
Still waiting for the chance.
We call it evolution,
We call it moving on,
But somewhere in the hurry,
The beautiful things are gone.
We're faster than life,
But missing the ride,
We're online all day,
And lonely inside.
We buy brand-new memories,
And throw the old away,
We've got a thousand ways to talk,
But nothing real to say.
Oh-oh-oh...
Take me back tonight,
To the slow and simple life.
Give me an old wooden chair,
A cup of morning tea,
A dusty road at sunset,
And someone next to me.
No filter on the laughter,
No password for the heart,
No “like” beneath a photograph,
Just people where we are.
Hey!
Slow down!
Put that phone away!
.
Slow down!
Life is not a race!
.
We chased tomorrow so damn hard,
We forgot to live today!
We're faster than life,
But missing the ride,
We're connected to the world,
But strangers by our side.
We've got electric dreams,
In artificial skies,
Maybe the old days weren't so old—
Maybe they were wise.
Oh-oh-oh...
Take me back tonight,
To the slow and simple life.
Let the clock keep ticking...
Let the old songs play...
Maybe life was better
When we took our time each day.
Slow down...
Slow down...
Slow down...
We're running out of life.
