1955 Full Lyrics
[00:16.76] If I were a few generations younger
[00:21.41] Who would know
[00:23.34] What I'd like and what I'd do
[00:26.52] My taste in music, taste in clothes
[00:30.17] Perhaps I'd meet a girl who likes the things I do
[00:34.51] And maybe more
[00:37.15] We'd take my thunderbird for a summer trip
[00:40.69] Down to the shore
[00:43.83] Homecoming can
[00:47.39] Only come so soon
[00:50.95] It's time to go back in time
[00:54.76] And come run away with you
[00:57.01] And I hope you are still alive, though it ain't 1955
[01:04.38] I would be right there by your side, if I was born in '39
[01:11.07] Maybe we could build a boat and sail across the sea
[01:17.89] But you're far away from me, not just by length but by an eternity
[01:25.11] I can see your face, your hair-sprayed hair
[01:29.00] And polka-dotted dress
[01:31.82] I got suspenders, got my thick-rimmed glasses
[01:36.09] And my hair's a mess
[01:38.66] But you don't care, we just sip our milkshakes
[01:42.72] And theorize 'bout the moon
[01:45.63] Listen to Perry Como, I'd get jealous
[01:49.85] As you swoon
[01:52.30] Homecoming can
[01:55.81] Only come so soon
[01:59.34] It's time to go back in time
[02:03.20] And come run away with you
[02:05.44] And I hope you are still alive, though it ain't 1955
[02:12.82] I would be right there by your side, if I was born in '39
[02:19.57] Maybe we could build a boat and sail across the sea
[02:26.21] But you're far away from me, not just by length but by an eternity
[03:02.03] Maybe we can build a boat and sail across the sea
[03:12.92] No electric light will blind us from the starry sky
[03:24.83] I take your hand, you'd be mine, and in my car at the drive-in
[03:35.91] The radio is all we need to feel alive
[03:45.64] Build a rocket ship and fly into the moon and never come back
[03:54.88] (I need you here)
[03:54.88] I'll see you on the edge of the galaxy as we run on for miles
[04:02.28] (I need you here)
[04:02.28] And I hope you are still alive, though it ain't 1955
[04:10.25] I would be right there by your side, if I was born in '39
[04:16.94] Maybe we could build a boat and sail across the sea
[04:23.39] But you're far away from me, not just by length but by an eternity
[04:29.74]
