Remember when the streetlights came on And we had to be home? Remember when Elm Street came on? Couldn't watch it alone Remember every prank call we made? And star sixty-nine Remember trying to hit eighty-eight To go back in time? Remember when they played Purple Rain To our first slow dance? Remember when we thought that first base Was just holding hands?
Those days come back in the dead of night Those days that felt like another life What would you be doin' back in those days?
We'd be turnin' up the stereo And play it everywhere we'd go And so did everyone we'd know in those days And everybody got to fall in love With every movie made for us God, I couldn't get enough of those days
Remember every poster we had Hanging on the wall Remember every t-shirt we stole From the local mall? (Ace of Spades by Motörhead) Remember Guns n' Roses came out? We were standin' in line Remember front row at that show? Camped out all night (Got so high, Sweet Child O' Mine)
Those days come back in the dead of night Those days that felt like another life What would you be doin' back in those days?
We'd be turnin' up the stereo And play it everywhere we'd go And so did everyone we'd know in those days And everybody got to fall in love With every movie made for us God, I couldn't get enough of those days
The time we'd waste 'cause life could wait What we'd give to relive just a single day The time we'd waste 'cause life could wait What we'd give to relive just a single day Instead of turnin' the page
We'd be turnin' up the stereo And play it everywhere we'd go And so did everyone we'd know in those days And everybody got to fall in love With every movie made for us God, I couldn't get enough of those days
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh) Those days that felt like another life (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh) (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh) Those days come back in the dead of night (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh) Those days that felt like another life What would you be doin' back in those days?
