lirik lagu david leal – watch closely
[intro sample]
today, cameras and rockets a hundred miles above the earth are giving us a glimpse of what the passenger of tomorrow may consider commonplace
[intro]
you are now tuning in to a world of wonder, awe, and excitement. the purpose of this quest is to sit back, relax, and watch closely
[verse 1]
i was born in 1990
the last era of ~n~log and sonic the hedgehog
i balled on the nba jam with the fam
gamed on the nes and sega genesis
were you a fan?
the last 10 years of the century, my friend
the golden age of hip~hop and nickelodeon
i had the high tops, first generation
and i dreamed of being slimed with a pie in the face and
i think about the days where i would dub cassette tapes
before mp3s and ipods made their way
before lcd and hd was here to stay
it was a thing in itself, man, before the digital age
settin’ up tents in my room with tv trays
i rocked the overalls, let the other strap hang
if you were back when, you might’ve done the same
a true kid at heart i strive to be all my days
the snap~crackle~pop of the warm lp
a transistor radio, a tube tv
give me a walkman, dawg, with a pair of akgs
or a boombox to blast my tunes for the week
i look back behind, study what’s come before
how can i improve?
how can i give them more?
with a smile on my face, the past fascinates
history in the making here and now for today
[chorus]
smooth like a warm summer night back in time
see what i can catch and find (now, watch closely this time)
see what i can catch and find
and, it’s
smooth like a warm summer night back in time
see what i can catch and find
see what i can catch and find
[verse 2]
growin’ up, i had a lineup at the age of five
sittin’ back on the couch watchin’ nick @ nite
laughin’ at sitcoms in the black n’ white
man, they sure don’t make ‘em like they used to (right?)
back to a time in tv land
where lucy and ethel had the master plan to get job workin’ in a chocolate factory
they had me crackin’ up with tears runnin’ down my cheeks
oh, it’s a thrill in pleasantville
where a little golden book was read after a meal
and doctor dan, the caring bandage man like l!ckety~split could make anything heal
i can sn~tch some jacks on the side of the street
red rover, red rover, hopscotch in the heat
got my chuck taylors on the soles of my feet
runnin’ swift like the wind so carelessly
hey mister! you got 5 cents?
i need a coca~cola classic
chewin’ on some bubble gum, bazooka joe has it
hangin’ out with d at the soda shop
listenin’ to johnny b. goode in my letterman jacket
a little dab’ll do ya, as i look in the mirror
slap on the brylcreem on the tip of my hair
got a hot date with a girl named destiny
which is the future layin’ right ahead of me, and it’s
[chorus]
smooth like a warm summer night back in time
see what i can catch and find (now watch closely this time…uh…yeah)
see what i can catch and find
and, it’s
smooth like a warm summer night back in time
see what i can catch and find (catch and find…see, see what i can catch and catch)
see what i can catch and find

another public service announcement…
[sample]
(applause) now, in november, come the longer evenings when folks drop in to play bridge or stop for snack after the movies
[verse 3]
close your eyes
listen now
step back into the day
reminisce
take my hand, and imagine us away
let go
free your mind
let the little b~tterflies of excitement take control
it’s gonna be a good show
come, let’s discover a universe in the sky
a timeline of past eras way before you and i
a world that can make one childlike again
and the cares of life just don’t seem to crash in
3…2…1
ready, get set!
we’re bout to take off like a twin piston jet
no turning back, beautiful, it’s now or never
now is the time
you and me together and it’s
[chorus]
smooth like a warm summer night back in time
see what i can catch and find (now watch closely this time…woah, oh…)
see what i can catch and find (yeah, yeah…)
and, it’s
smooth like a warm summer night back in time
see what i can catch and find (back in time…back in time)
see what i can catch and find (catch and find!)
[outro]
uh, yeah
[sample]
now, watch closely this time
