lyrics

What can I say that would convey the ways you give me intrigue?
Could it be you? In a way? Contained a passing interest in me?
Oh what a wonderful beautiful day I'd have if I could only know your name, it always seems we're too busy so I guess I'll walk away.

Wasting time alone and
Finding no one to grow close
A screen provides fake company
To wander on like ghosts.

Doesn't matter who the culprit is
When We're really all to blame!
Emotionally stunted
Too affixed to pointless games

So Take me back to basics
God I want to feel again
But for such a world, "connected"
I feel my heart is at wits' end

Hey! How bout we break, out of this cage and maybe escape the ways we
Waste! All of our days at a quickening pace
Cause I'm tired of running this rat race
This solitude of heart and
Loneliness of mind isn't
Meant at all for humankind.
We're made to be together, and from it we are better but the ways we try go without meeting

In The flesh
The whole damn mess
And every fault that we obscure
Behind the screen
and finally see
the beauty of our flaws that we try
Hard to hide
But deep inside
A Longing to be loved despite them
Eye to eye
Hearts intertwined
It doesn't seem too much to aim for

Take me back to basics
God I want to feel again
But for such a world, "connected"
I feel my heart is at wits end
And I'm crying out for someone's help
To place their hand in mine
Cause the problem found in "paradise"
Is the time we waste online.

So Take me back to basics
Lord I want to feel again
Cause this life I live "connected"
Just reminds me it's pretend.
