Lyrics
Static on the screen
Stay right there
TV glowing in a darkened room
Plastic couch, it’s way past noon
Cartoons yelling, parents gone
Microwaved dreams till the night comes on
Channel hopping, sacred time
Waiting for the theme to chime
Spaceships teaching us to hope
Doctors breaking, learning how to cope
We didn’t know the world was loud
We thought the future would be proud
Of kids like us
Back when nights were built to stay
On borrowed couches, far away
Theme songs felt like promises
We didn’t know we’d ever miss
Life was loud, but somehow kind
Before we learned to read the signs
Yeah, we didn’t have it all
But we believed in something more
Emergency rooms on channel five
People bleeding, trying to survive
We learned compassion from a show
Before we really got to know
Heroes wore no capes or crowns
Just tired eyes and hand-me-downs
Pain was real, but so was care
You stayed with them — you didn’t stare
No algorithm knew our name
No filter hid the fear or shame
We just felt it
Back when nights were built to stay
On borrowed couches, far away
Theme songs felt like promises
We didn’t know we’d ever miss
Life was loud, but somehow kind
Before we learned to read the signs
Yeah, we didn’t have it all
But we believed in something more
We thought tomorrow would be kind
Flying cars, open minds
Turns out growing up’s a trick
You lose some things, you miss them quick
If I could pause it, just one scene
That flickering blue in-between
I’d stay right there a little while
(Rewind, rewind)
Don’t hit stop yet
(Rewind, rewind)
Back when nights were built to stay
On borrowed couches, far away
Theme songs felt like promises
We didn’t know we’d ever miss
Life was loud, but somehow kind
Before we learned to read the signs
Yeah, we didn’t have it all
But we believed in something more
Static fades, the screen goes black
But sometimes it still pulls me back
To a time we didn’t see
How rare that kind of hope would be
