Back when time was ours to spend
No jobs, no plans, just long weekends
We danced through nights in open air
With hearts too young to know despair
In a world so new, so wide
We thought we’d never say goodbye
Cassettes played our favorite tunes
City pops beneath the moon
You said, “One day, we’ll raise a kid.”
But summers fade, like all things did
In a world so new, so wide
We thought we’d never say goodbye
Summer of ’84
You were all I waited for.
But dreams don’t knock on grown-ups’ doors
I’m still stuck in ’84

Your lemon dress, your windblown hair
Smoke from takoyaki filled the square
Sweet kakigōri on your lips
A Walkman swinging from your hips
In a world so new, so wide
We thought we’d never say goodbye
Summer of ’84
You were all I waited for
But dreams don’t knock on grown-ups’ doors
I’m still stuck in ’84
Summer of ’84
You were all I waited for
But dreams don’t knock on grown-ups’ doors
I’m still stuck in ’84
Summer of ’84
You were all I waited for
But dreams don’t knock on grown-ups’ doors
I’m still stuck in ’84
Summer of ’84
You were all I waited for
But dreams don’t knock on grown-ups’ doors
I’m still stuck in ’84
