Out of time, way out of grace
Washed up in this other place
Homesick for the song in our hearts
You and I, we cut our fears
Rolling through the Reagan years
When modern love could tear us apart
There were times, I'm sure we knew
When we were young and beautiful
Yeah, we could choose
Just couldn't lose
And you and I
We touched the sky
Let's put on an eighties love song
And for a while, we'll dance the night away
Then let it fade to grey
The way was up and we all knew
Here's a photograph of you
Dressed in black for Pretty in Pink
The light of fashion in your eyes
Walkman playing out your life
That new design just ain't what you think
There were times when we would fight
We didn't always get it right
But you gotta choose
Win or lose
And you and I
We touched the sky
Let's put on an eighties love song
And for a while, we'll dance the night away
I was standing on the street
You were there in front of me
So slick and knowing it all
We pulled them over the wall
And you and I
We touched the sky
And there were times, I'm sure we knew
When we were young and beautiful
Nothing could touch us at all
And you and I
We touched the sky
Let's put on an eighties love song
And for a while, we'll dance the night away
