Lyric:

[Verse 1]
Blue windbreaker
scuffed white lace
Quarter in the payphone
calling your place
Cartoons humming
on a wood‑grain TV
You taped every song
off the radio for me

[Chorus]
Take me back to old 1988
Where the summers ran long
and we never looked late
We were kings of the curb
on a dead‑end street
Just a boom box chant
and bare‑skinned knees
Take me back to old 1988
Polaroid smiles
I can’t recreate
Heartbeats loud
like they couldn’t break
Back to old 1988

[Verse 2]
Mom’s brown Corolla
warm vinyl seats
Drive‑thru sodas
dripping down our sleeves (oh yeah)
Neon at the mall
in your faded band tee
You drew our initials
on your ripped‑up jeans

[Chorus]
Take me back to old 1988
Where the summers ran long
and we never looked late
We were kings of the curb
on a dead‑end street
Just a boom box chant
and bare‑skinned knees
Take me back to old 1988
Polaroid smiles
I can’t recreate
Heartbeats loud
like they couldn’t break
Back to old 1988

[Bridge]
Now it’s all in a shoebox
under my bed
Names half‑erased
but they live in my head
I close my eyes
and I’m right at your gate
Ringing the bell
in my high‑top faith (hey!)

[Chorus]
Take me back to old 1988
Where the summers ran long
and we never looked late
We were kings of the curb
on a dead‑end street
Just a boom box chant
and bare‑skinned knees
Take me back to old 1988
Polaroid smiles
I can’t recreate
Heartbeats loud
like they couldn’t break
Back to old 1988
