Inspired by a band member’s 1983 model Mercedes-Benz breaking down, “1983” is the perfect backing track for a road trip, following Cameron Boyer’s statement that:
listening to the band’s music for the first time while driving alone at night (is the best way) set the mood and get the best experience...
[Verse 1]
Windows fogged up, nothing new
Only enough room for two
And oh, we're getting old
And oh, the night is cold
Windows fog up, nothing new
[Chorus]

And turning on a dime
What do we do?
One last ride and one more time
And na na na na na na
Yeah, you, you
Na na na na na na
[Outro]
Windows fogged up, nothing new
Only enough room for two
Only enough room for two
