Dial-Up Dreams at Midnight

We stayed up in the blue light typing through the dark

Back when every little message felt like a spark

Burned CDs in the dashboard, names in marker pen

Every song was a small world we could live in

The modem sank, the room went still

And I could almost feel the future standing still

Do you remember when everything felt infinite?

When the night was young and we were innocent

We were crossing lines with our hearts half-lit

Now I chase that glow in the afterimage

Do you remember when everything felt infinite

We made a map of nowhere with a borrowed screen

Shared our secrets in the spaces in between

Your name will bloom and vanish in a blinking line

Like a little hell draft at the edge of time

The static faded, but he never really left

It lives in every song, I haven't outgrown yet

Do you remember when everything felt infinite?

When the night was young and we were innocent

We were crossing lines with our hearts half-lit

While chased that glow in the afterimage

Do you remember when everything felt infinite

Maybe growing up is learning how to let it go

Still I keep those winter evenings in my bones

The first time everything opened like a door

I have not found that kind of light before

Do you remember when everything felt infinite?

When the night was young and we were innocent?

We were counting stars in a world they barely set

Now they shimmer back in the places I miss

Do you remember when everything felt infinite?

Can I still remember when everything felt infinite?
