You made your own mistakes You must have made a million And if you had your time you’d make them all again And though you’re not like me I felt a strange connection But now it’s all too late, too late to say I wish I could be back with you in the eighties Before you never made it Before you packed your dreams away You found the world did not revolve around you Reality had found you And took you to a different place Suffice to say I lived a life of moderation Suffice to say I broke some hearts upon the way And sometimes in my mind, you’re leaning the backline My guitar in your hand, behind the band I wish I could be back with you in the eighties Before you never made it Before you packed your dreams away We found the world did not revolve around us And love got up and found us And took us on our separate ways Alone with my heartbeat, here in my bead Memory wanders and I miss my friend, oh I miss my friend
