Every moment, it was ours to own
Every heartbeat, it had a tone
No coded dreams or silicon lies
Just us and the open skies
[Verse 2]
Friends we met on the corners of streets
Not in chatrooms or endless tweet streams
When I was young, there was no AI to know the way
No screens to tell me who to be or what to say
[Chorus]
It was real, not machines creating our songs
It was real, we knew where we belonged
It was real, now it's all gone and done
Oh, take me back, back when we had just begun
[Chorus]
Bring me back to the real, where the music felt so strong
Bring me back to the real, where we’d sing our own song
No more illusions, where did it all go wrong?
Oh, take me back before the magic was gone
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Before the wires crossed our hearts and minds
Before the algorithms drew all the lines
We had passion, pure and undefined
Living life, in color, not confined
[Verse 3]
Now the cities hum a digital tune
Neon lights, artificial moons
Distant voices echo through the grid
Fading echoes of the things we once did
Our love was handwritten, not in binary code
Now it's all just data, an overload
[Pre-Chorus]
We built dreams by the fireside at night
Now we chase shadows on screens so bright
[Chorus]
It was real, not machines creating our songs
It was real, we knew where we belonged
It was real, now it's all gone and done
Oh, take me back, back when we had just begun
[Final Verse]
Bring back the days of heart and soul
When the melodies made us whole
