I pressed play on the Walkman and cranked it up
Fresh batteries powered the box
Got three joints hidden and a pack of smokes
Folded up into one of my socks
I'm a burnout riding on the handlebars
Of my little brother's Supergoose
Mow your front lawn, five dollars, add the back
For 15, plus a water or juice
That's when I saw her sitting on the porch
Jordache's tight as can be
Thick and heavy eyeliner, dark sultry eyes
On me
This '80s rock ballad has the perfect tone
For the way you flood my soul
I wish we could've met as kids back then
Together with our whole lives to go
This '80s rock ballad has the perfect pitch
Man, who the fuck sings this song?
If I just would've known you was out there
I'd have searched under every stone
Until I brought you home
Imagine us together when grunge hit
Scoring tickets to Alice in Chains
Or would we of stayed true to that '80s sound
And been way too stubborn to change?
Suddenly I knocked you up, and we had a boy
And three years later, a girl
What would we of even named our kids
And where would they be in the world?
As the styles change, and when things get strange
On each other we could lean
Always having one another to believe in
While the rest is just a dream
This '80s rock ballad has the perfect tone
For the way you flood my soul
I wish we could've met as kids back then
Together with our whole lives to go
This '80s rock ballad has the perfect pitch
Man, who the fuck sings this song?
If I just would've known you was out there
I'd have searched under every stone
Until I brought you home
And I bet we would've withstood the rain
And survived any up and downs
In the 2000's and beyond, our harmony
Would grow stronger, no matter the sound
As time starts to show, embedded in our faces
We'd be the only two around
The wicked good times, bad times, whatever the pain
Together you and I forever, we're bound, yeah
♪
We missed a lot of good times we could've shared
Wish we could've met when we was young
But we still got a whole lot of life to share
And now together, the best is yet to come
This '80s rock ballad has the perfect tone
For the way you flood my soul
