Digital Age - Esmée Denters

Growing up in the digital age

Hiding behind a screen

Instead of being face to face

Addicted to likes and views

It can be a dangerous game

It’s so easy to lose yourself

When they’ve always got something to say

When we’re not satisfied

Oh, we’ll just put a filter on it

You know it ain’t real life

When we only share the good moments

Is it really worth it, tryna be this perfect?

We are so much more then we could ever capture

With technology

So turn all your devices off

And maybe we could just talk

And spend our time like we used to do

Turn all your devices off

And maybe we could just talk

And spend our time like we used to do

Instead of staring at our phones

Let’s have a conversation

And cancel out all the noise

We don’t need to try hard to fake it

Striving for the unattainable

When the flaws are what makes us beautiful

Start living in the moment

Stop trying to save it

When we’re not satisfied

Oh, just put a filter on it

You know it ain’t real life

When we only share the good moments

Is it really worth it, tryna be this perfect?

We are so much more then we could ever capture

With technology

So turn all your devices off

And maybe we could just talk

And spend our time like we used to do

Turn all your devices off

And maybe we could just talk

And spend our time like we used to do

If we are so connected, why do I feel so disconnected?

For a moment let’s go back in time

Back to when we used to talk for hours

Felt like the world was ours

Let’s just pretend it’s you and I

So turn all your devices off

And maybe we could just talk

And spend our time like we used to do

Turn all your devices off

And maybe we could just talk

And spend our time like we used to do

So just talk to me

Remember how it used to be?

Won’t you just talk to me

You remember how it used to be?

Spend our time like we use to do, yeah
