Hey doc, come pick me up and take me back to eighty five
When everything was simple and everyone I knew alive
We had no mobile phones but all our friends lived down the street
Our friends were everyone our age that we happened to meet
The wide-eyedness I now miss
From before my cares
That ignorance was bliss
It beats those blank stares
Nothing we messed up couldn't be fixed within a day
A few hours from home could feel like half a world away
We couldn't go online but there wasn't much that we had to know
And what we knew was true because our parents told us so
When I think back to those uncomplicated days
It always seems like it was such a perfect phase
But trading it for today is something that I'd never do
When I think of what I've done and when I think of you
