To Know from Arel Happening by The Stoplights

(Hello?)

I want to know who you were before the war
‘For the virus took its course
Before the oceans’ rise
And that wayward look in our eyes
I want to know you before the war

I want to know all the places you have been
All the sights that you have seen
All the times you stopped
To take a picture of your ice cream
I want to know the places you’ve been

I want to know all the people you have loved
And to hug them like my kin
The strangers and the friends
I will tell them all that’s happened
I want to know the people you’ve loved

I want to know what was in your heart back then
All the books and songs and poems
The movies and the times
That you danced barefoot alone
I want to know your heart back then

~

Cuz I believe that even though we can’t go back in time
We could talk and pretend like now is then
If we tried

Cuz I believe that even though we can’t go back in time
We could talk and pretend like now is then
If we tried
