[Verse 1]
Why don't you come 'round in the afternoon?
Stay 'til the morning, I got nothing to do
I pretty promise that we won't get bored
I've got feelings that I can't ignore
After I saw you and the party was dead
I tried to steal you from your burnt out friends
Making small talk, should've asked you then
In my drafts, I've got a text to send
[Chorus]
We could watch an '80s movie
Cut the lights and make it moody
Put your arms around my waist
Let our bodies fade away
Let's make out to Dirty Dancing
Be the latest new romantics
Hold me close while we escape
To a world that's far away
Away from hеre
[Post-Chorus]
Take me, takе me
Take me away, oh, take me
Take me away from here
[Verse 2]
I could be your homecoming queen
Or star player on your favorite team
Me and you, up on the silver screen
Come on, baby, don't you ever leave
Can you blame me if I'm paranoid?
Everything I loved has been destroyed
Maybe you'll be my anomaly
If I keep you here in '83
[Chorus]
We could watch an '80s movie
Cut the lights and make it moody
Put your arms around my waist
Let our bodies fade away
Let's make out to Dirty Dancing
Be the latest new romantics
Hold me close while we escape
To a world that's far away
Away from here
[Post-Chorus]
Take me, take me
Take me away, oh, take me
Take me away from here
[Outro]
Take me, take me
Take me away, oh, take me
Take me away from here
