  • Tell me what does it take to make good now
    How many years do you wait?
    Oh, and now all of the clouds are combining
    The flickering light's just a flame
    Oh but yeah, I'm so tired
    I've been away for so many years
    But I guess I'll just wait a bit longer
    I'll stay 'til they open the gates

    All my life I stay here waiting
    Every new year, always making me
    Feel as though there's nothing up there but
    One day you came out of nowhere

    1985 was a good year
    The sky broke apart and you appeared
    Dropped from the heavens, they call me a dreamer
    I won't lie, I knew you would belong here
    Lifted off the ground
    I took your hands and pulled you down
    Because 1985 was a good year
    I won't lie, I knew you would belong here

    Oh well, how many years has it been now?
    How many days went to waste?
    Now the rain and the thunder are clashing
    The Sun's got a smile 'cross the face
    Oh, but yeah I'm so tired
    I fight so hard and come back beaten
    Beacon, burn through it brightly
    Soared through a sliver of space

    All my life I stay here waiting
    Every new year, always making me
    Feel as though there's nothing up there but
    One day you came out of nowhere

    1985 was a good year
    The sky broke apart and you appeared
    Dropped from the heavens, they call me a dreamer
    I won't lie, I knew you would belong here
    Lifted off the ground
    I took your hands and pulled you down
    Because 1985 was a good year
    I won't lie, I knew you would belong here

    Lifted up
    Lift us back to the sky and the world above
    Lifted up
    Lifted up

    1985 was a good year
    The sky broke apart and you appeared
    Dropped from the heavens, they call me a dreamer
    I won't lie, I knew you would belong here
    Lifted off the ground
    I took your hands and pulled you down
    Because 1985 was a good year
    I won't lie, I knew you would belong here Writer/s: BENNY BLANCO, MICHAEL ANGELAKOS
