"80's Movie" lyrics

"80's Movie"

I don't wanna go out
But I don't wanna stay here in my head
The music's too loud
And nobody can hear a word I say
It's okay, I'm a loner anyway, hey

Standing in the corner
Sometimes I feel that I just might be dead
Call me when it's over
I'll be outside waiting on the stairs
Invisible, my heart is breaking

Then you came and saved me
Baby, right on time
Like an 80s movie
With the classic lines
Now we're dirty dancing
All through the night
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Like an 80s movie
Starring you and I

Where's the happy ending?
When I'm the only candle in the dark
I'm done pretending
Just fast forward right to my favorite part
We'll save the world from right here in your car
Just like teenage movie stars

Then you came and saved me
Baby, right on time
Like an 80s movie
With the classic lines
Now we're dirty dancing
All through the night
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Like an 80s movie
Starring you and I
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I never want this high to ever end
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Tell me that it's just the beginning
Of an 80s movie
Starring you and I

Like an 80s movie, oh-oh
Like an 80s movie
Starring you and I

Nick Carter explained on Twitter on the 18th of December 2020, "The 80's will always have a special place in my heart. The world seemed so big and everything was new and exciting. It seems like the perfect time to take a trip back to the 80's."
A day prior to this song's release on the 18th of December 2020, Nick Carter teased it with an audio snippet whose description read, "Over the past few months, I've been in the studio working on some brand new solo music. I've had the pleasure of working with some amazing songwriters and producers who are helping me explore a new sound and take my solo music in a new direction. #80sMovie perfectly encapsulates that moment when you know everything is going to work out. It's important to remember that, especially during a year like 2020."
