Walked in to the tune of the very last song in the set I guess there wasn’t much time left I blinked my eyes, the stage was bare, and I’m still standing there Not a single note left, just lingering But still I stood there silent, listening To the echoes of everything I just missed Old photographs and memories Are all that’s left here for me To show the way things were Back when life was carefree Take me back in time To when the lighters’ glow reflected in your eyes As you stared out from the stage Back when all the world was a stage Well I tried with all my might to re-live those days I tried to do it through the songs I played Fell in love with long hair and rock clothes The big drums and the guitar solos But through it all, one thing’s missing And till the day I die I’ll be wishing it was 1984 And that the band was still on tour I wanna be on the midnight train, going any way I wanna feel the bite of that November rain I wanna be 18 till I die I wanna roll with that sweet child o’ mine I wanna feel as cold as ice I wanna feel my heart beat in the still of the night I wanna meet a girl who’s only seventeen Just don’t you forget about me I’m still standing by that stage I’ll always be standing by that stage
