They played a tape
We all watched and it felt
Good, so good we watched again
They played a tape and it changed everything
A movie so good it defined everything
They played a tape and now that ring
That my childhood crush gave me on my
Wedding that we could snack on later wasn’t exciting
They played a tape and I was inside a box
What mattered, who mattered, why it mattered
They played a tape
Where everything became so small-minded in the eyes of others
They played a tape and I was now in tune with what I watched
Taken aback by an idea sold so well I don’t think
I want to go back
They played a tape
Now my feelings align with the tape
They played a tape
And I thought to myself if I did have the remote
Would I eject? Well they played a tape and now my kids get to watch
What I still don’t properly understand but
They played a tape and we all stayed to watch
