1984

I can buy a car or I can buy a house
Sixty-inch flat or a cheap motel couch
A fancy dinner or a bottle of wine
But it doesn't compare to us feelin' alive

Alive
Alive

These material things they all will fade away
And leave us with our own memories
No time for turnin' back, just live for today
Cause the memories we make are worth more than the price of fame

You can buy a new dress from downtown
Say I'm ready like a king with a crown
Money won't make the memories shared
Stick around, and our hearts will be paired

Be paired
Prepare

These material things they all will fade away
And leave us with our own memories
No time for turnin' back, just live for today
Cause the memories we make are worth more than the price of fame

Memories
Memories
Memories
Memories

Memories come without a price
Nothin' I can barter for them in life
Moments eternally in my heart
Now I keep them from coming apart
