Lyrics
Just like the 80s films
We'll hook up in my back seat and let my best friend drive Just like the 80s films
We'll hook up in my back seat and let my best friend drive
>
She said, "How does it feel to be you?"
I said, "It's alright, I really think I peaked in high school" She said, "That isn't possible, you are out of your mind
'Cause we never hooked up in high school"
>
We just need a night like
We just need a night like this, yeah Take me back to ninth grade
Take me back to ninth grade shit, yeah
>
Just like the 80s films
We'll hook up in my back seat and let my best friend drive Just like the 80s films
We'll hook up in my back seat and let my best friend drive
>
She said, "How'd we end up in the parking lot in Smithtown?"
The morning's on its way to sunrise She said, "The island is long, but life is short in this town
I'm glad we got to redo the time"
>
We just need a night like
We just need a night like this, yeah Take me back to ninth grade
Take me back to ninth grade shit, yeah
>
And just like the 80s films We'll hook up in my back seat and let my best friend drive
>
Just like the 80s films
We'll hook up in my back seat and let my best friend drive Just like the 80s films
We'll hook up in my back seat and let my best friend drive
>
I can't let go and your lips feel retro
You're my Breakfast Club You're my song from Cyndi Lauper No more missed times, we fly by street signs Let your hips rewind
Take me back into the future, yeah
>
Just like the 80s films
We'll hook up in my back seat and let my best friend drive Just like the 80s films
We'll hook up in my back seat and let my best friend drive
>
She said, "How does it feel to be you?" I said, "It's alright, I really think I peaked in high school"
