[Verse 1]
Big hair, bad TV
Posters peeling off my wall
Mixtapes in a plastic drawer
Fast-forward, that was all
Arcade coins in my pocket
Neon jacket, halfway torn
Thought the future looked like comics
Every Friday we were born
[Chorus]
Those were the days, it was the eighties
We were wild, we were half-crazy
Dancing in the kitchen, socks on tile
Cheap cologne and crooked smiles
Those were the days, it was the eighties
Out of tune but singing bravely
Didn’t know a thing, but we felt so sure
Those were the days, I still want more (oh)
[Verse 2]
Mom’s car in the driveway
Windows down, the summer heat
Shouting every single chorus
Like the world was on repeat
Wrong keys on the metal piano
Bedroom band at 2 a.m.
Every neighbor knew our setlist
They just never knew our names
[Chorus]
Those were the days, it was the eighties
We were wild, we were half-crazy
Dancing in the kitchen, socks on tile
Cheap cologne and crooked smiles
Those were the days, it was the eighties
Out of tune but singing bravely
Didn’t know a thing, but we felt so sure
Those were the days, I still want more
[Bridge]
We were chorus pedals, overbright
Cartoon nights and sugar highs
Tangled hearts and tangled wires
Made-up dreams and honest lies
[Chorus]
Those were the days, it was the eighties
We were wild, we were half-crazy
Dancing in the kitchen, socks on tile
Cheap cologne and crooked smiles
Those were the days, it was the eighties
Out of tune but singing bravely
Didn’t know a thing, but we felt so sure
Those were the days
Those were the days
I still want more (yeah)
