Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He rode a red bike home
With scuffed-up knees in June
No map, just muscle memory
And a pocket full of loon
He heard the screen door slam
Then every name called out
Now kids just tap a glass
And learn the world by shout
[Pre-Chorus]
Back then it was
Hands on the wheel
Now it’s a swipe
That makes it real
He learned to wait
He learned to play
Now every answer
Runs away
[Chorus]
Back in the 80s
Back in the 80s
We ran till dusk
We came back dirty
Today, today
Everything’s fast
Same bright kid
Different path
[Verse 2]
He traced the TV snow
Like stars on winter nights
Now every room is full
Of perfect little lights
He had one mixtape made
With love and mistakes on top
Today it’s every song
And still it feels like less, not a lot
[Pre-Chorus]
Back then it was
One summer crush
A note in a book
A secret blush
Now hearts go live
Then fade away
But some old dreams
Still want to stay
[Chorus]
Back in the 80s
Back in the 80s
We ran till dusk
We came back dirty
Today, today
Everything’s fast
Same bright kid
Different path
[Bridge]
He still keeps that old badge
In a drawer by the sink
A half-bent concert stub
And a Polaroid ink
Same kid in the mirror
Just older in his eyes
One foot in the rewind
One foot in the sky
[Final Chorus]
Back in the 80s
Back in the 80s
We ran till dusk
We came back dirty
Today, today
Everything’s fast
Same bright kid
Different path
Back in the 80s
Back in the 80s
He still feels young
When the bassline starts to spin
