libby garnett - sweet sixquaranteen Lyrics

I went back to the future tonight
My vision's somewhat blurred right now
And I hope that that's alright
I saw my brother's great grandchildren
Sitting in the classroom listening
To the reason for the tears in all our eyes

Remember freaking out before the first bell rang?
Whether Ulysses or S. Grant
We understood it all the same
And I've learned plenty history
But I never thought that it'd be written
About the year the virus came

There's still a lot of good things in this life
I don't know who it is
That needed to hear that tonight
And yes, I went dystopian
Thought it was the apocalypse
'Til I decided that that wasn't worth my time

I can see your face
Or at least until my phone dies
Which means that I can feel your pain
But I can't feel your hand in mine
Living in the digital age
I guess that makes it more alright
'Cause I can hear your voice
But I can't hear you up behind me

In the hallway after class
Trying hard to make me laugh
We used to joke about all this
But now we wish we could go back
I would've hugged you a little tighter
Or said I love you one more time
If I knew it'd be last time for a while
Feel like I didn't even get to say goodbye

It will be alright
Metaphorically side by side
Look right out your window
To the same stars I see from mine
Take a walk now go outside
Try to breathe for me tonight
We'll be together in no time
We'll be together in no time
