UPTO88 is a popband straight from the colourful 80's, dressed up in a crisp, contemporary sound. They sing about failed relationships, heartaches and heartbreaks, love, regret and the curse of being young. 

Want You Now

-

Water’s got me sober,

I’m up again

Three nights in a row,

I can’t comprehend

I’ve got you in my arms,

but it’s not the same

I’d kill for just a moment of “way back when”

​

I caught your eyes the moment I left your room

I don’t know why it feels like we can’t resume

I hate the way that I made you feel

I hate the way that I made you feel

I want you now

I want you now

I want you now

I want you now

I try to tell myself I don’t need you, love

But I’m scared, don’t say that you’re better off

​

I hate the way that I made you feel

I hate the way that I made you feel

Brown-eyed paradise 

Cold nights, watery eyes

Pride schemes and fake replies

 Fuck, I’ll lay it all aside

‘Cause I want, I want

I want you now

I want you now

I want you now

I want you now

​

I hate the way that I made you feel

I hate the way that I made you feel

For all those times I said I’m sorry I mean it now

I know I fucked up baby, I swear I get you now

Oh I refuse, not gonna lose you no matter what

I want you now

Feel Like It Used To

-

I´m sleepless at night,

as my feelings collide

I wanted to try, 

oh, believe me when I - say

I´m not better now, no

I still somehow need you

and despite what I said, I wish that you´d see through me

​

Face down, collide,

couldn´t run or hide

I needed goodbye,

I meant everything that I - said

don´t you ever feel like

you were a part of me

and when I can´t recall your face no more,

I´ll drink to the way things were

​

Home gone,

now let me move on?

seem strong

"hey! at least I won"

But if I tried, would it feel - feel like it used to?

and if I went, would it be - be like it used to?

but I won´t let myself - won´t let myself

​

I fell into sleep,

took a twenty year leap

and as we passed, 

I barely said "hi" as the children ran by

I´m not better now, no

I still somehow need you

for better or for worse,

I wish that you´d see through me

​

Home gone,

now let me move on?

seem strong

"hey! at least I won"

But if I tried, would it feel - feel like it used to?

and if I went, would it be - be like it used to?

but I won´t let myself - won´t let myself

​

I´ve been gone too long

I´m burning up, by the way that I feel

I might be late, but hey - I´ll show

I know it´s been a while,

but I´m coming home
