There was this thing called VHS Some of us might remember it Okay, maybe most of us do But that doesn't account For these feelings I am going through Remember Laserdisc? Remember that? So shiny, I want it back Cassette tapes, don't you get me started Put one in a Dictaphone Listen to that one time grandma farted I like old technology, I love old technology I keep a record player in my room I'm not getting rid of it any time soon I never use MicroSD, no Microfiche is the one for me Life must have been better way back when These thoughts go through my head Every now and again I like old technology, I love old technology Each night I lie in bed With a single earphone in my head Listening to my crystal radio

You and Me 02:56
Hey, I like your car That's a nice color Do you see my shirt? I like it because I like zebras So do you? I'm glad you do Hey, them's some real nice boots I'd call them boots, don't ask me why It's a real long story And you don't want to hear it Oh you do? Well I'm glad you do Can't you see someone led you to me Somebody upstairs is letting you and me be friends
3.
Don't Worry 01:41
Don't worry about whatever Things will turn out alright Don't worry about forever You don't have to fight anymore You've already won Maybe you'll find your love tomorrow You might be fortunate It can't be helped by hanging your head in sorrow You can't be forcing it Don't waste your time Don't sweat the small things Be thankful for what you have got today Life is good and great and wonderful I want you to see that Everything is good in its own way

Why fill the void with folderol that I don't need Why fill the void with idols that crumble at your feet Collections, addictions, they all amount to nothing You love me, why did it take so long To see you're one for me You're all I'll ever need I can't take it all, on my own I stumble and fall Back to the cross everyday I crawl Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord His love endures forever
5.
In my upstairs There's a clock that keeps no time Forever it is stuck This old clock of mine In my upstairs There's a frame with no picture Forever it is bare With no picture there In my upstairs There are book upon books Words and phrases But no one ever looks In my upstairs Reside some old toys Tiddlywinks and little cars Played with by girls and boys Memories are stored Stored in my upstairs Memories go and play Go and play in my upstairs

Sady Grey 02:53
I'm feeling old This coffee's cold The woman at the Record store says She likes my hair I hate my car The darn thing won't start I wanna win your heart with candy The two people in love Never knew what They were thinking of So they fell in love again The lights went out So did my frown A night on the town Is good for your lungs
7.
My Darling 00:37
My darling, she calls me honey Thinks all my jokes are funny We have good times together Just the two of us
8.
They Lied 03:29
From over here you look really tall But to me that makes no sense at all They lied to me They said I could make it out They lied to me The breezes rustle through the leaves The ash it makes its way across the grass It's not so green anymore I tried and tried and tried some more But but I could not move the door It lied to me It said I could make it out It lied to me My life it shatters on the ice The lake cracks and my life is gone gone I always thought things were better When it rained It's falling down on top of me It's always better when it rains It's falling down on top of me It's always better when it rains

Hey girl find your nearest mountain Run away and hide Leave this world behind I'm coming with you And we will run away we will We are we will not say goodbye Hey girl think about the fountain The pretty stuff's at the top But the money's at the bottom And we will run away we will We are we will not say goodbye Forget what we did Let's just move on Life has thrown us out Life has let us go And we will run away we will We are we will not say goodbye
10.
I'm feeling lonely I'm not sure where you are I want you to hold me in your arms You fled to a different state And I could not follow Tied up in day to day things I wrote you a letter You will never read it "I hope you are doing better than me" My car is in neutral Here I go down the hill again The feelings are not mutual I won't forget but I know you will I know you'll lose my name I know you will
