[Intro]
[Verse - Male Vocal]
He said, meet me by the bleachers
She said, text me where you are
But back then it was pay phones
And scribbled hearts on broken cars
We passed notes in homeroom
Folded like little white rings
Now it's streaks and disappearing words
You double-tap instead of saying things
[Chorus - Male & Female Vocals]
Take me back to the 90s
Ball caps, chain on the rearview
Burned CDs on the dashboard
Every song felt brand-new
Before the likes, before the scroll
When a long slow dance could save your world
Take me back to the 90s
High school kid, small-town boy and girl
[Verse 2 - Female Vocals]
She wore flannel over prom dress
He wore mud on Sunday shoes
We thought the mall food court
Was the fanciest place we knew
Now it's drive-thru in the big truck
Maps glowing on a bright blue screen
Back then we just got lost on purpose
Following a radio and a dream
[Chorus - Male & Female Vocals]
Take me back to the 90s
Ball caps, chain on the rearview
Burned CDs on the dashboard
Every song felt brand-new
Before the likes, before the scroll
When a long slow dance could save your world
Take me back to the 90s
High school kid, small-town boy and girl
[Solo]
[Bridge - Call & Response]
Now it's overnight deliveries, everything fast
But I'm missing how we waited, how it made love last
Standing in your driveway till the porch light blinked twice
Whispering “one more minute”
Like we had all night, all night
[Final Chorus - Male & Female Vocals]
Take me back to the 90s
Ball caps, chain on the rearview
Burned CDs on the dashboard
Every song felt brand-new
Before the likes, before the scroll
When a long slow dance could save your world
Take me back to the 90s
High school kid, small-town boy and girl
[Outro - Male & Female Vocals]
Ball caps, chain on the rear view,
Burned CDs on the dashboard
Take me back to the 90s
High school kid, small-town boy and girl
