1955 Lyrics by Billy Cobb

Zerwee

2019

[Verse 1]
If I were a few generations younger
Who would know
What I'd like and what I'd do
My taste in music, taste in clothes
Perhaps I'd meet a girl who likes the things I do
And maybe more
We'd take my thunderbird for a summer trip
Down to the shore

[Pre-Chorus]
Homecoming can
Only come so soon
It's time to go back in time
And come run away with you

[Chorus]
And I hope you are still alive, though it ain't 1955
I would be right there by your side, if I was born in '39
Maybe we could build a boat and sail across the sea
But you're far away from me, not just by length but by an eternity

[Verse 2]
I can see your face, your hair-sprayed hair
And polka-dotted dress
I got suspenders, got my thick-rimmed glasses
And my hair's a mess
But you don't care, we just sip our milkshakes
And theorize 'bout the moon
Listen to Perry Como, I'd get jealous
As you swoon

[Pre-Chorus]
Homecoming can
Only come so soon
It's time to go back in time
And come run away with you

[Chorus]
And I hope you are still alive, though it ain't 1955
I would be right there by your side, if I was born in '39
Maybe we could build a boat and sail across the sea
But you're far away from me, not just by length but by an eternity

[Synthesizer Solo]

[Bridge]
Maybe we can build a boat and sail across the sea
No electric light will blind us from the starry sky
I take your hand, you'd be mine, and in my car at the drive-in
The radio is all we need to feel alive
Build a rocket ship and fly into the moon and never come back
(I need you here)
I'll see you on the edge of the galaxy as we run on for miles
(I need you here)

[Chorus]
And I hope you are still alive, though it ain't 1955
I would be right there by your side, if I was born in '39
Maybe we could build a boat and sail across the sea
But you're far away from me, not just by length but by an eternity
