lyrics
Blaze in my head since I don’t know when
All I see is red, I lie here, breathe the embers in
Time I wasted, all the things I said
Smoke and mirrors, what did I do? Lost track of the years
Get me out of here and now
Get this stuff away from me
Give me back the eighties now
When everything was real for me
They were times when hearts were crushed and won
Got our heads turned, lost our way, we thought our times were done
Tried so hard to chase the rainbow’s end
Couldn’t see that every day would only bring more rain
Get me out of here and now
Get this stuff away from me
Give me back the eighties now
When everything was real for me
Looking at this, don’t you feel the same?
What would you miss if we turned our backs and walked away?
Let’s do it now, we can take a chance
Go back to the eighties, lose ourselves in the romance
Get me out of here and now
Get this stuff away from me
Give me back the eighties now
When everything was real for me
All I see is red, I lie here, breathe the embers in
Time I wasted, all the things I said
Smoke and mirrors, what did I do? Lost track of the years
Get me out of here and now
Get this stuff away from me
Give me back the eighties now
When everything was real for me
They were times when hearts were crushed and won
Got our heads turned, lost our way, we thought our times were done
Tried so hard to chase the rainbow’s end
Couldn’t see that every day would only bring more rain
Get me out of here and now
Get this stuff away from me
Give me back the eighties now
When everything was real for me
Looking at this, don’t you feel the same?
What would you miss if we turned our backs and walked away?
Let’s do it now, we can take a chance
Go back to the eighties, lose ourselves in the romance
Get me out of here and now
Get this stuff away from me
Give me back the eighties now
When everything was real for me
