89' Lyrics by Joe Barbarulo

Settle Down

0

[Verse]
I remember every inch of those backstreets
The days before searching the web and backlit screens
Stay at the park smoking cigarettes and drinking stolen beer
Biking home at midnight, through the back so dad don’t hear

Saw Bill and Ted at the Proscenium
Rain falls outside the Hollywood Video
Playing ball at the sandlot, wearing dirty jeans
Sitting playing Mario on the CRT

[Chorus]
I’m so tired of getting older
Brush the weights right off my shoulders
There is just so much fighting, and crying and dying, why are we even trying?
Take me back to 89’

[Verse]
“Love Shack” blaring all night at the high school dance
Those eyes they’d put me in such a trance
Too bad I didn’t try to make her mine
She was on the football captain’s arm for the rest of the night

Saw Ghostbusters 2 in the summertime
Wasn’t nearly as good as the first but still alright
The rest of the day spent at the local pool
Still think about those days when I think of you

[Chorus]
I’m so tired of getting older
Brush the weights right off my shoulders
There is just so much fighting, and crying and dying, why are we trying?
Take me back to 89’

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
I’m so tired of getting older
Brush the weights right off my shoulders
There is just so much fighting, and crying and dying, why are we trying?
Take me back to 89’

I’m so tired of getting older
Brush the weights right off my shoulders
There is just so much fighting, and crying and dying, why are we trying?
Take me back to 89’
