lyrics
Never gonna see that boy go by again
Do you remember or was it a dream?
Am I pretending the way that it seemed?
Or am I only, only, wishing that you feel the same way
If I could only, only, only, get the guts to say but
So far away, la la, six feet away
Last time I saw you from across the street
And I think you didn’t recognise me
So I kept going, going, going, kept walking my way
While I was knowing, knowing, knowing, I was just afraid
So far away, la la, six feet away
Heartbeat skipping
It’s intermittent
It’s hot like fire
Water on iron
Skip and sizzle
It’s kinda quizzical
I’m gonna getcha
Like a dream catcher
Wish on a star, I’ll wish on the moon
Fantasising an in-person zoom,
And all the time it takes, it takes, makes me dizzy in the brain
Wanna be under your umbrella in the pouring rain, but
So far I’m, la la, six feet away
Blood is flowing
Think we’re both knowing
Crazy like kittens
I guess we’re smitten
Want to get together
My heart is like a feather
I wanna touch your hand and I wanna go dancin
Do you remember or was it a dream?
Am I pretending the way that it seemed?
Or am I only, only, wishing that you feel the same way
If I could only, only, only, get the guts to say but
So far away, la la, six feet away
Last time I saw you from across the street
And I think you didn’t recognise me
So I kept going, going, going, kept walking my way
While I was knowing, knowing, knowing, I was just afraid
So far away, la la, six feet away
Heartbeat skipping
It’s intermittent
It’s hot like fire
Water on iron
Skip and sizzle
It’s kinda quizzical
I’m gonna getcha
Like a dream catcher
Wish on a star, I’ll wish on the moon
Fantasising an in-person zoom,
And all the time it takes, it takes, makes me dizzy in the brain
Wanna be under your umbrella in the pouring rain, but
So far I’m, la la, six feet away
Blood is flowing
Think we’re both knowing
Crazy like kittens
I guess we’re smitten
Want to get together
My heart is like a feather
I wanna touch your hand and I wanna go dancin

The name of this album perfectly encapsulates everything I love about Elizabeth's musical output from the Darlings to Allo Darlin' to these precious songs: an unyielding optimism that is never naive, and by being so, becomes wildly contagious. Some music tells you that "everything will be ok", but her music actually makes you believe it, even when the lyrics hint at doubt.
