about
A story of forgiveness, regret, and living a lie.
lyrics
1985
If by chance time stops by and takes you through all of the years you spent without
holding my hand when crossed the road, when learned to talk, when I learned to walk
through life, making fiction with my own hands, lies tangled so tight it's taken most of my life
to untangle my fingers and uncross my toes, you see it was around nine that I realized,
these are things that nobody can know
And you'll say - Take me back to 1985, when my picket fence dream still was alive,
when my heart was under lock and key, when all I had to do was live a lie.
Take me back to 1985, when my picket fence dream still was alive,
when my heart was under lock and key, when you never had a chance to think about me
You'll see the bell I made in school at Christmas time, when I was five,
and the cubby I built in the adventure playground, where I insisted I play the wife.
You'll see when I first gave hateful eyes to a friend of mine who had more than I
and all the time I spent with everyones mum, wishing that they'd be my one.
Take me back to 1985, when my picket fence dream still was alive,
when my heart was under lock and key, when all I had to do was live a lie.
Take me back to 1985, when my picket fence dream still was alive,
when my heart was under lock and key, when you never had a chance to think about me
And he'll say, it's ok, it you need too, then Ill take you, but they're fine just the way they are
I'll take you back to 1985, when your picket fence dream still was alive,
when your heart was under lock and key, when all you had to do was live a lie
i'll take you back to 1985, when your picket fence dream still was alive,
when your heart was under lock and key, when you never had a chance to think about me
