“1984” is a lighthearted homage to a modern 80’s track about dancing with a loved one. The song may function as a flashback to a real story or a fictitious scenario. The title is the year after Macklemore was born.
[Verse 1]
Standin' in line (Standin' in line)
As we wait outside (Waitin' outside)
The rush, the high
The dance floor's open waitin' for us to collide
We are king, we are queen (We are king, we are queen)
We are living a dream (Living a dream)
This is not what it seems, this is ours for the taking
You are the lady for me
[Pre-Chorus]
And we've seen it all before
Sweat falls down to the floor
Tonight I'm all yours
Let's live like it's 1984
[Chorus]
Baby, give me the green light
Don't you break my heart
Your love is a freeway
I want to ridе it to the stars
I want to do this forever
You dancing in my arms
Always bе yours
Just me and you on the floor
Like it's 1984
[Verse 2]
Pretty woman in a white dress (Oh-oh)
Feel like I'm drowning, need a life vest (Oh-oh)
Overdramatic, overreactive, nah, nah
You make me manic, you make me panic
And I said, "Big hair, don't care"
Dance like nobody else here, hell, yeah
You're mine tonight, Heaven in those eyes
We won't die, let the DJ guide the night
[Pre-Chorus]
And we've seen it all before
Sweat falls down to the floor
Tonight I'm all yours
Let's live like it's 1984
[Chorus]
Baby, give me the green light
Don't you break my heart
Your love is a freeway
I want to ride it to the stars
I want to do this forever
You dancing in my arms
Always be yours
Just me and you on the floor
Like it's 1984 (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Like it's 1984 (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Like it's 1984 (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Bridge]
Fire burnin' in my soul (Oh-oh)
I don't want to be alone tonight
Meet me in the sky
I want to take you home (Oh-oh)
Or anywhere you want to go tonight
We're runnin' out of time
1984
[Chorus]
Baby, give me the green light
Don't you break my heart
Your love is a freeway
I want to ride it to the stars
I want to do this forever
You dancing in my arms
Always be yours
Just me and you on the floor
Like it's 1984 (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Like it's 1984 (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Like it's 1984 (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
