I hear your name whispered on the wind
It's a sound that makes me cry
I hear a song blow again and again
Through my mind and I don't know why
80s

That my feelings tonight
Are a stain on my notebook
That rings your goodbye

The creature that I always meant to be
But I thought in spite of dreams
You'd be sitting somewhere here with me

Yes, yes, it was me, I plead guilty
And at the count of three I pull back the duvet
