Back to the Eighties/Lyrics:

[Intro]
Oh-oh-oh, the sun was loud**
Neon colors in the crowd
Oh-oh-oh, I see it still
The world was young and full of thrill

[Verse 1]
I was thirteen, maybe fourteen
With big dreams in my head
Tight blue jeans and radio songs
Dancing round my bed

On the schoolyard we traded stickers
Cassettes and secret smiles
And if you solved the magic cube
You were a hero for a while

[Chorus]
Take me back to the eighties
Where the nights felt wild and free
On roller skates through the streets
With the future chasing me

Take me back to the eighties
Where the world still seemed to glow
We were kids with open hearts
And believed the best would show

[Verse 2]
My Walkman ate the batteries
But I played every tape
Mixtapes from the radio
Finger ready to record and wait

Arcade lights in the shopping mall
One coin, and I was gone
A pixel hero in another world
Playing till the morning sun

[Bridge]
Now I’m older, but sometimes
I hear those cassettes play
And the boy I used to be
Still laughs and skates away

With glowing wheels beneath his feet
And stars above the town
He’s racing through that endless night
Where dreams could not slow down

[Chorus]
Take me back to the eighties
Where the nights felt wild and free
To roller skates and neon dreams
And the boy I used to be

Take me back to the eighties
Just for one bright song
We were wild, we were alive
And nothing could go wrong

[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh, I see it still
That electric teenage thrill
Oh-oh-oh, the memories glow
Like neon lights from long ago


**the sun was burning bright
