Heat in the Eighties

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You walked in wearing summer blue Old cassette humming something new I caught your smile across the room And every careful plan gave way too soon [Pre-Chorus] One look and the years fall away Your hands still know what to say [Chorus] Your love is your heeeeat Burning through the cold in me I love the way you looked at me in the eighties Like the whole world could wait patiently Your love is your heeeeat Pulling every spark awake I love the way you looked at me in the eighties And I’d choose that moment again today [Verse 2] Polaroids fading beside the phone Your red coat hanging by my door at home We wrote our names beneath the pier Then spent the next long summer keeping each other near [Pre-Chorus] One touch and the years fall away Your eyes still know what to say [Chorus] Your love is your heeeeat Burning through the cold in me I love the way you looked at me in the eighties Like the whole world could wait patiently Your love is your heeeeat Pulling every spark awake I love the way you looked at me in the eighties And I’d choose that moment again today [Bridge] If the tape runs thin, if the picture turns white I’ll remember your face in the dashboard light No decade can take what your heart gave me You were the song beneath everything [Final Chorus] Your love is your heeeeat Burning through the cold in me I love the way you looked at me in the eighties Like the whole world could wait patiently Your love is your heeeeat Pulling every spark awake I love the way you looked at me in the eighties And I’d choose that moment again today [Outro] Your love is your heeeeat Still rising over me
