Back in 99

from The Condesa Queen by Matthew Check

lyrics

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
With 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 I’ve even tried
Now happiness is optional, ‘cause time ain’t my side
I gave up before I thought that somebody else could appear
Like you who wrote me all the things, 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
