Last night I saw it, the crowd and the sweat
The lights in my eyes and the warmth in my chest
The theater walls held murals of gods
And their gold paint was peeling from years of applause
Oh I want to go back to the way it was
Before we had distance between us
Six feet changes the way it was
Handshakes and hugs in a crowded space
Dancing with strangers and holding up beers
Tapping on shoulders and whispering in ears
We were clapping together like one big heartbeat
And the rhythm connected our souls with our feet
And we stomped and we sang feeling fearless and free
Before we had distance between us
Six feet changes the way it was
Handshakes and hugs in a crowded space
Dancing with strangers and holding up beers
Tapping on shoulders and whispering in ears
Was taken for granted all these years
And you were there swaying to the words I cried
And I woke in my bedroom with the sun in my eyes
And my walls all have posters of the once endless ride
And I picked up my guitar to write
Six feet changes the way it was
Handshakes and hugs in a crowded space
Dancing with strangers and holding up beers
Tapping on shoulders and whispering in ears
Was taken for granted all these years
All these years
All these years

I've played a few songs from this album on The Compendium. Vanessa Peters is a terrific songwriter, whose music always feels hopeful even when the subject of the songs is less so. followjohnreed
