About This Track

'1989' by Delights is a 2022 pop single from the album 'Cool Sports'. The lyrics track a restless, short-on-cash kind of optimism, where things shift quickly and the narrator keeps rewinding, uncertain but pushing for a change of mind. There is an insistence on understanding, a sense of someone slipping out of reach, and an appeal to be led away from the moment, with the refrain image of being “lost in 1989”.

Lyrics

1989

Short of money, full of life
Things changing every other night
Eventually, in time
In circles when I rewind

She takes her time on it
It's alright, darling
Black and white drawings
And I know why
I know why

Won't you change your mind?
You're lost in 1989
Take me to the other side
You're lost in 1989

Ordinary lullaby
Been gazing in the sunlight
Remember me, in time
In circles when I rewind

She takes her time on it
It's alright, darling
Black and white drawings
And I know why
I know why

Won't you change your mind?
You're lost in 1989
Take me to the other side
Infatuation takes its time

Sleeping on a Sunday night
I'm in the backseat of my mind
Reminisce about your eyes
You're lost in 1989

(Cool sports, yeah)
(Cool sports, yeah)
(Cool sports, yeah)

(Cool sports, yeah)
(Cool sports, yeah)
(Cool sports, yeah)

Won't you change your mind?
You're lost in 1989
Take me to the other side
Infatuation takes its time

Sleeping on a Sunday night
I'm in the backseat of my mind
Reminisce about your eyes
You're lost in 1989
