Lyrics:
burn the cassette deck.
burn the cassette deck.
burn the cassette deck.
can’t go back

from betamax to VHS
the soundtrack to innocence
to never last was imminent
made for decay
to bounce back from mad mistakes
i’d try to make up for with mixtapes
tune in the past
the ghetto-blaster
fading away

let’s go get so high
slow dance in time
play back ’99

now i feel so anxious – i’m just living on borrowed time.
how can i feel ageless when i’m just living on borrowed time?
how else can I say this? we’re all living on borrowed time.
i wish i could just press rewind to play back ’99.

form of sentiment
formally raised on internet
format erased like innocence
forgot to save

let’s go get so high
slow dance in time
play back ’99

now i feel so anxious – i’m just living on borrowed time.
how can i feel ageless when i’m just living on borrowed time?
how else can I say this? we’re all living on borrowed time.
i wish i could just press rewind to play back ’99.

good to be alive – yeah just like 1999

but something’s odd deep in my heart
we felt so strong but now it’s gone
is something wrong? what can it be?
everything is changing now i don’t feel like me
and every time i think about it
shit
you know i get nostalgic

do you look back in anger?
do you look back at all?
do you look back in anger?
can’t go back

do you look back in anger?
(burn the cassette deck)
do you look back at all?
(burn the cassette deck)
do you look back in anger?
(burn the cassette deck)
can’t go back

time was the only thing we had
now time’s gonna’ take all that we have
time was the only thing we had
can’t go back

don’t look back in anger
time’s gonna’ take all that we have
don’t look back in anger
can’t go back

now i feel like i’m just not living if i’m just living in the past
but i can’t help feeling like something’s missing i can’t get back

burn the cassette deck.
burn the cassette deck.
burn the cassette deck.
can’t go back

but every time i think about it
can’t go…

  1. Like the vibe, love the melody and progression but really dislike that lo-fi/whatever effect on the vocals!! (Brett's voice is good, no need to hide it with cheapo tiny sounding effects!).

  2. There are songs that make you nostalgic and there are songs that are just about nostalgia; this is the latter. Cheap, superficial, and full of forced emotion. Also just sounds very thin and weak but that's just modern pop production in a nutshell I guess.
