about

This is a bittersweet look at the passage of time and how everything changes yet stays the same.

Bonus points if you can list every 80's music reference I hid in the lyrics. Send me a note with your guess.

lyrics

Seems like yesterday, walking home I saw Cyn and Bri laying to sunbathe.
Wearing bikinis and looking fine.
Heard a boombox play, blasting “Power Of Love”, “Cuts Like A Knife”, and “10-9-8”.
I was 15 and way too shy.
There were daydreams and nightmares. I always played the role of fool.
Life has moved me, but no matter where, I always end up back at school.

Got heartland rock on my headphones and a pretty girl on my mind.
The only thing that's changed since 1985 is time.

Too many bills to pay. But two kids that light up my life and keep me living.
Son and daughter of a broken man.
Never know what to say, thinking about you and the love you may be giving.
Giving me back my legs to stand.
You used to be somebody's baby. Now I hope that you will be mine.
I won't ask, somebody, save me. I'll be faithful, heart and mind.

Got heartland rock on my headphones and a pretty woman on my mind.
The only thing that's changed since 1985 is time.

Seasons change. Life goes on. Age grabs you by the throat.
All I have to do is press play and I already know every note.

Got heartland rock on my headphones and a pretty woman on my mind.
The only thing that's changed since 1985...
Got heartland rock on my headphones and you on my mind.
The only thing that's changed since 1985 is time.

Time. Time. Time.
