It's more than a bit sad, I think. I agree with BDanahy, he feels the relationship dying, and he just wants things to go back to the way they were, but at the same time, he knows it's impossible. They're both relying on memories, the only reason they're still together is because they made each other happy at some point, and that's what he means when he says "old fashioned". He gets more and more desperate as the song goes on, he spurns electricity, as he pleads to get old fashioned
