Normal
Longing for Normal: Nostalgic Reflections on a Lost Life
Lyrics
Remember when I could hold your hand and it'd be alright
Reflecting on a time when physical closeness was comforting and reassuring.
Remember when we would turn off our phones and talk all night
Nostalgic about moments spent together, free from distractions.
You know I'm thankful for FaceTime but it's not the same thing
Expressing gratitude for technology but acknowledging its limitations compared to in-person connection.
As being there with you
Highlighting the desire to be physically present with the person.
Got me wishing, that we could just go back
Yearning for a return to a previous life.
To the life we had before somehow
Reflecting on the past and the desire to return to a former way of life.
Now it's different, and I guess it ain't so bad
Acknowledging the changes in life but finding some positive aspects.
But I'm really missing you right now
Expressing strong feelings of missing the person at the present moment.
Why can't things just be normal
Pleading for a return to normalcy, a simpler and familiar life.
Why can't things just be
Reiterating the desire for things to be normal.
Remember when we could go anywhere we wanted to
Recalling a time when freedom to go anywhere was taken for granted.
Remember when we could see our friends every afternoon
Remembering the ease of socializing with friends regularly.
Whatever happened to normalcy and life as we knew?
Questioning the disappearance of normalcy in life.
Nothing we can do
Acceptance of the situation, realizing the lack of control over certain changes.
Got me wishing, that we could just go back
Reiterating the desire to return to a past life.
To the life we had before somehow
Reflecting on the changes but finding some positive aspects.
Now it's different, and I guess it ain't so bad
Acknowledging the mixed feelings about the current situation.
But I'm really missing you right now
Expressing intense emotions of missing someone in the present.
Why can't things just be normal?
Repeating the plea for a return to normalcy.
I wanna go, wanna go, wanna go back
Expressing a strong desire to go back to the past.
To the way things were, yeah
Reiterating the wish for things to be normal.
Why can't things just be normal?
Expressing the strong desire to return to a familiar way of life.
I wanna go, wanna go, wanna go back
Repeating the strong wish to go back to the way things were.

Reiterating the desire for a return to the past.
Why can't things just be normal?
Continuing the plea for a return to normalcy.
Why can't things just be normal, no
Emphasizing the frustration and questioning why things can't be normal.
I know, I know, I know, I know
Expressing awareness of the current differences and difficulties.
I know it's different now, but
Acknowledging the changes but questioning the difficulty in accepting them.
Why can't things just be normal?
Repeating the plea for a return to normalcy.
I wanna go, wanna go, wanna go back
