Funny Times

[Verse 1] It's a funny time looking back on where we've been (yeah) Television sets were furniture back then No plasma screens or cell phones in our hands Emergencies took longer, things don't always go to plan (woah) Kids slept on the floor and everyone would talk Nobody was closed off on the same block Funny times to see we should be more connected now But somehow we're more distant and I don't know how (yeah... I know) [Hook] It's a funny time to see (yeah) Where the times we had have gone and what they used to be More technology but less of you and me (woah) Funny times, funny times We just gotta keep moving [Verse 2] Communities would claim you if you were one of their own (yeah) Safe enough to ride your bike and still make it home Kids could roll to the pool at thirteen, no fear Fairs at the park and everyone was near (woah) Neighbors watched each other's kids without being asked Everyone knew everyone and nothing had to last It was an entirely different kind of real (yeah) Funny times to think about the things we used to feel [Hook - Variation] It's a funny time to see (yeah) Where the neighborhoods we had have gone and what they used to be Electric cars but less community (woah) Funny times, funny times We just gotta keep moving [Verse 3] Thirty-six years of watching how the world has turned (yeah) From furniture televisions to the screens we've earned Technology grew massive but the distance grew too (woah) Funny times when everything we built just fell right through No one's riding bikes to places anymore alone No one's walking to the fair or calling someone home The good and bad of it I carry both inside (yeah) Funny times but they were ours and that I can't deny [Outro - warm, reflective, drifting] Funny times... Funny times... (yeah) Kids on bikes and floors we slept on... Everyone we knew... (woah) For the good and the bad... We just gotta keep moving... Funny times... ...We just gotta keep moving.
