lyrics

We used to sit around the tiny CRT TV
The static on the screen tickled my teeth
At Hollywood Video, what you would find you never know
Right after school, can’t wait to go

We forget the things that made us
So be kind, rewind me

Hey Jake, turn on the VCR
I know someday we could go far
But I like it where we are
So Jake, turn on the VCR

I would record my favorite shows and watch them endlessly
Tune in Saturday 7pm
But tape is easier to fade, just like the time corrodes away
We gotta go, I wanna stay

I was stupid, I’ll get better
So be kind, rewind me

Hey Jake, turn on the VCR
I know someday we could go far
But I like it where we are
So Jake, turn on the VCR
DBZ starts at 9pm
I might just be asleep by then
Now awake 24/7
Might just make it through Adult Swim

Let’s pretend we’re married so we don’t have to grow up
We can tell our parents that we found our one true love
Do you love me?

Hey Jake, turn on the VC
Hey Jake, turn on the VC
Hey Jake, turn on the VCR
