VCR
The xx Lyrics
You, you still have all the answers
And you, you still have them too
And we, we live half in the day time
And we, we live half at night
Watch things on VCRs, with me and talk about big love
I think we're superstars, you say you think we are the best thing
But you, you just know, you just do
When I find myself by the sea, in another's company by the sea
Because you, you just know, you just do
Watch things on VCRs, with me and talk about big love
I think we're superstars, you say you think we are the best thing
But you, you just know, you just do

LYRICS:
You, you still have all the answers
And you, you still have them too
And we, we live half in the day time
And we, we live half at night
Watch things on VCRs, with me and talk about big love
I think we're superstars, you say you think we are the best thing
But you, you just know, you just do
When I find myself by the sea, in another's company by the sea
When I go out the pier, gonna dive and have no fear
Because you, you just know, you just do
Watch things on VCRs, with me and talk about big love
I think we're superstars, you say you think we are the best thing
But you, you just know, you just do
✌🏾

You, you still have all the answers
and you, you still have them too
and we, we live half in the day time
and we, we live half at night
Watch things on VCRs, with me and talk about big love
I think we're superstars, you say you think we are the best thing
But you, you just know, you just do
When i find myself by the sea, in anothers company by the sea
When I go out the pier, gonna die and have no fear
Because you, you just know, you just do
Watch things on VCRs, with me and talk about big love
I think we're superstars, you say you think we are the best thing
But you, you just know, you just do

Man this makes me nostalgic for when I was a kid and this album just came out.. my parents used to play it on road trips all the time. So much has changed in a decade but music can always be a reliable time capsule :’)
Jake Berry
You are such a lucky kid to have parents cool enough to know good music...
Matthew Smylie

I've got this song playing in one tab and my ex's instagram in the other and I'm finally realizing after five months of solitude that I'm pretty alright.
Everything's gonna be alright.
