Back in 99

Just as things were fallin’ apart, we were talkin’ on the telephone The last time that heard your voice it was twenty long years ago Apparently, you confessed to me some desires and some fears On paper in a shoebox, in my closet all these years Back in ninety-nine, you told me you loved me On a handwritten letter with pencil-and-paper And an eraser, you changed things that you rethought Back in ninety-nine, back in ninety-nine Now the whole world’s changed but my heart’s still the same somehow All these years I’ve failed so much, it makes me wonder why even why I tried Now happiness is optional, you know that time ain’t my side I gave up before I thought that somebody else could appear Like you who told me all the things, that I’ve always wanted to hear Back in ninety-nine, Back in ninety-you told me love me, on a handwritten letter to me Back in ninety-nine, back in ninety-nine Now the whole world’s changed but my heart’s still the same somehow Woohoo hoo! Back in ninety-nine, you told me you loved me On a handwritten letter to me Back in ninety-nine Back in ninety-nine Now the whole world’s changed but my heart’s still the same somehow
