Lyrics

I see you in the room, like Pretty In Pink Laughing with your friends, I’m scared what you think I’ll be Molly Ringwald, you can be my Andrew We’ll dance through the halls, just me and you

The jukebox plays a song we’ll never forget Like the love we’ve got, no regrets With every glance, you make me want to rewind To that sweet moment when I knew you’d be mine

And just like those old movies, You’ll turn up at the airport like it was always meant to be And we’ll write our story like a love that everyone knows Just like those movies, you’ll tell me not to go I won’t let go, no, no, no

You’ve got that St. Elmo’s Fire glow, shining bright We’ll kiss in the rain, like Say Anything feels right I’ll be Ferris Bueller, you can be my Cameron Skipping class, taking chances, we’re just having fun

The summer fades, but we stay like the screen In the backdrop of our love, we’re the perfect scene Every moment, like a line from Breakfast Club You’re my high school sweetheart, you’re my first love

And just like those old movies, You’ll turn up at the airport like it was always meant to be And we’ll write our story like a love that everyone knows Just like those movies, you’ll tell me not to go I won’t let go, no, no, no (no, no)

Maybe we’re just daydreaming, we’re a perfect cast But I’d walk through the fire, even if it doesn’t last We’ll take a Polaroid, capture what’s ours We’ll fall in love, just like the movies under the stars

And just like those old movies, You’ll turn up at the airport like it was always meant to be And we’ll write our story like a love that everyone knows Just like those movies, you’ll tell me not to go I won’t let go, no, no, no (no, no)

And we’ll write our story like a love that everyone knows Just like those movies, you’ll tell me not to go I won’t let go, no, no, no I won’t let go, no, no, no

About this song

A neon-sweet love song built from 80s movie references, airport endings, and the hopeful fantasy that romance might still work like the credits scene.

This Wave 1 song leans hard into cinematic nostalgia: John Hughes references, prom-night energy, and the idea that a real relationship can still feel like an old-screen ending worth chasing.
