This came out the summer I turned 14, and made me wish for all those things that were just out of reach, wanting to be older, to be stepping out. Wishing time away the way we do when we are young and aching to grow up. Makes me smile in bittersweet nostalgia that 1982 is nearly 40 years back in the past.

Even made me a fan of Hall and Oates, who my mom had me hating back in the day lol.
