about

This song is called 2020. Why? I'm glad you asked! Well, you see, it's kinda about the fact that hindsight is 2020, but also that 2020 is in the future. Things in the past were good! They might have been the best for you! But the future is like, right there, in front of you. So like, move full speed ahead, right? WRONG. The future is all about the past. Timehop, iCloud and Google storage, Instagram feeds--everything is trace-back-able. We can look back at all our past feelings. But whatever! It's almost a new decade! So take all your conflicting feelings and throw them into whatever direction you're facing and let this song blast you into the rest of this year and the next. Wheeeeeee

lyrics

you might be the greatest thing i’ll find in my hindsight
but for now i’m keen to the idea of running for my life
i’d bet on a dead thoroughbred if it meant i’d be losing with grit
who’s to say i can’t suffocate fate when it smokes me like a cigarette?

you might the greatest thing i’ll find in my hindsight
2020 will be in the past when i pass you like a satellite
if this life is a videotape then i’m stuck at the end of the reel
and life’s full of regrets, so what’s left but to overwrite the way that i feel?

you might the greatest thing i see in my rearview mirror
but i’ll keep it in drive, i’m alive, the future’s closer than it appears

you might be the greatest thing i’ll find in my rearview mirror
2020 will be in the past, but for now it’ll be my year
if this life is a videotape then i’m stuck at the end of the reel
and i’ll never rewind ’til i find things to overwrite the way that i feel

you might be the greatest thing i’ll have in my whole life
well it’s nice that i’ve peaked this week, but there’s more at the end of this hike
dead-set on a desert sunset with the movie credits rolling in the wind
but i’m ready
i’m ready
i’m ready to begin

you won’t be the greatest thing i’ll find in my foresight
2020 is coming up fast, so i’ll pass you like a satellite
this life isn’t a videotape that’s stuck at the end of the reel
we got storage for miles so our files can contain every feeling we feel
