What was Ted referring to when he said: "You were lying about that?"

Question

In Bill & Ted Face the Music, Bill and Ted travel to 2025, where they have seemingly become successful. However, they are tricked by their future counterparts, who try to pass off a song by Dave Grohl as their own:

Old Bill: You have to! It's your only chance to get our wives back.
Young Ted: You were lying about that?
Older Ted: Of course we were lying.

What does "that" refer to?

LogicDictates · Accepted Answer

I believe it's a reference to the fact that the older Bill & Ted previously told them that the princesses had come back to them, when in reality they had not.
Bill & Ted: Face the Music script

TED: So, then.. I guess you have the song?
55 YR OLD TED: Why would we be living like this if we
didn’t?
TED: And the princesses..?
55 YR OLD BILL: Brace yourselves.. Are you ready?
55 YR OLD TED: They’re back.
Bill and Ted audibly exhale.
55 YR OLD TED: They’ve been back for a while. And things
are better than ever.
Huge loads are lifted from Bill and Ted’s shoulders.
TED: Oh, that’s such a relief.
