It's been awhile since we talked last
Long weekends, summer vacations, all in the past
Frying our minds with 16 bit systems
Two player All-Stars on a tube TV in the basement
My how time flies
The passage of time is a heartbreaking scene
Turning the golden years of our lives into lost dreams
Doing all we can to hold onto our fading memories
What we'd all do for a time machine
Years go by before we have time to realize
We should've wound our watches a bit more tight
Pause up the pace of our childhood
Pause up the pain of the youth we have to lose
Growing old is for the birds
The passage of time is a heartbreaking scene
Turning the golden years of our lives into lost dreams
Doing all we can to hold onto our fading memories
What we'd all do for a time machine
Once upon a time we fried our 16 bit minds
Told now that we're too old to stay electrified
We'd rather not recognize these wrinkled eyes
But time, oh time, locking us in for this ride
Solar revolution, our resolution
The passage of time is a heartbreaking scene
Turning the golden years of our lives into lost dreams
Doing all we can to hold onto our fading memories
What we'd all do for a time machine
The passage of time is a heartbreaking scene
Turning the golden years of our lives into lost dreams
Doing all we can to hold onto our fading memories
What we'd all do for a time machine
Just to relive all our 16 bit dreams
