We thought it would connect us, now we can't look away Notification pings when sometimes a message would take a day I can't place the shift like a pot set to boil But now I know we're frogs in this oil Suited up for my job to send across the globe And 15 year old me thought it was hard to code We stupidly traded cities and forums close at hand For an algorithm controlled and curated wasteland Oh-oh-oh Take me back to SoHo six thirteen When away messages meant everything Even in communities across the world We know we still have this manic swirl Found a server where we actually talk Not performing, just existing, taking walks Through afterparty channels at 2AM The twenty-seven here, we found it again Some places look like the Facebook I remember Holding on to their niche's dying ember Meet up plans that are posted where they can Reminds me there's calm seas next to land Oh-oh-oh Sometimes even the grass you touch is digital Seeing it now fills this heart's aching hole Oh-oh-oh Community found a third space that feels like home A virtual space, a second life to roam Oh-oh-oh Wish I could go back, but it wouldn't be the same As the friends I've made and lost along the way Oh-oh-oh Take me back to SoHo six thirteen When away messages meant everything Even in communities across the world We know we still have this manic swirl Oh I know I can't go back to SoHo six thirteen When away messages meant everything Even our communities across the world We are still sailing this manic swirl
