lyrics

Going Offline (Music and Lyrics: Tim Hunter © 2018)

Do you really need to show,
Everything you know
All of the time?
Do you really have to share,
With people everywhere
Your secrets on line?

Oh oh can’t you see we need some privacy?
Oh oh you and me we need some mystery?

I’m Going Offline, I’ll loosen my mind
Going Offline, Going Offline
I’m Going Offline
I’m Going Offline, don’t know what I’ll find
When I’m offline, When I’m offline
I’m Going Offline

We do we always meet in cyberspace?
Why can’t we sometimes meet in a real place?
Face to Face?

We don’t always need to post,
Don’t always have to boast
The real world is fine
‘Cos it’s really not a game,
It’ll never win you fame
It’s time to decline

Oh oh can’t you see we need some privacy?
Oh oh you and me we need some mystery?

I’m Going Offline, I’ll loosen my mind
Going Offline, Going Offline
I’m Going Offline
I’m Going Offline, don’t know what I’ll find
When I’m offline, When I’m offline
I’m Going Offline
