Online Friends

Dial-up tone, late at night

Pixelated dreams in the monitor light

Back when we typed our hearts out loud

In chatrooms hiding out in the crowd

MSN, away messages set

Geocities pages that we won't forget

AOL whispers, a flashing screen

We built a world that felt like a dream

Did we all grow up, did we just move on?

Or did you shut down, and now you're gone?

I miss my online friends (online friends)

Staying indoors typing all weekend

If you were there you remember it all

Phone line blocked, no one could call

Where did all my online friends go?

I wonder if you still remember me though

(I wonder if you still remember me though)

Hazy chats, 3 AM

Falling for a stranger through a pixel lens

Waiting for that nudge on MSN

Typing "BRB" but never back again

Neon fonts, MySpace stars

Dreaming in a forum post from afar

Xanga secrets, LiveJournal cries

Now they're ghost towns, lost in time

Did we all grow up, did we just move on?

Or did you shut down, and now you're gone?

I miss my online friends (online friends)

Staying indoors typing all weekend

If you were there you remember it all

Phone line blocked, no one could call

Where did all my online friends go?

I wonder if you still remember me though

(I wonder if you still remember me though)

Maybe you're out there, face in the feed

Scrolling through memories you don't really need

The internet's bigger, but it feels so small

And I still miss the wonder of it all

I miss my online friends (my online friends)

Staying indoors typing all weekend

If you were there you remember the world

In a CRT that we preferred

Where did all my online friends go?

I wonder if you still remember me though

(I wonder if you still remember me though)

I miss my online friends (my online friends)
