A Thousand Years Ago Lyrics

A thousand years ago the Brooklyn bowling alley

Put on a show for mental health

Standing in the bathroom now gazing in the mirror

Trying to recognize your self

Has it all gone down for the better or the worse?

Tough to figure out if it's a blessing or a curse

Lately you've been thinking it's a little bit of both

Either way there's one thing that you know

That bowling alley show is a thousand years ago

A thousand years ago you threw a special party

To celebrate a milestone

Looking around you now so many of the others

Struggling through every day alone

The room turned upside-down as the radio was humming

The ones who made the killing are the ones who saw it coming

Lately you've been wondering how the wicked always know

And why the rest of us are left to try and grow

Picturing a life we used to know a thousand years ago

And you know there's got to be a silver lining

In the moments you can't face it anymore

Take a walk outside and usually the sun is shining

Faith is nearer than it ever was before

Truth is dearer than it ever was before

Love is clearer than it ever was

A thousand years ago this coming February

A woman walking in a mask

Even in the moment there you noted it peculiar

Too busy trying to get somewhere to ask

Not too much longer after that the whole thing took a turn

Hard these days to clarify exactly what's been learned

Lately you've been thinking it's a process very slow

Either way there's one thing that you know

That city woman walking through the snow

Is a thousand years ago

A thousand years ago

It's a thousand years ago

A thousand years ago
