Remember when I could hold your hand and it'd be alright

Remember when we would turn off our phones and talk all night

You know I'm thankful for FaceTime but it's not the same thing

As being there with you

Got me wishing, that we could just go back

To the life we had before somehow

Now it's different, and I guess it ain't so bad

But I'm really missing you right now

Why can't things just be normal

Why can't things just be

Remember when we could go anywhere we wanted to

Remember when we could see our friends every afternoon

Whatever happened to normalcy and life as we knew?

Nothing we can do

Got me wishing, that we could just go back

To the life we had before somehow

Now it's different, and I guess it ain't so bad

But I'm really missing you right now

Why can't things just be normal?

I wanna go, wanna go, wanna go back

To the way things were, yeah

Why can't things just be normal?

I wanna go, wanna go, wanna go back

To the way things were, yeah

Why can't things just be normal?

Why can't things just be normal, no

I know, I know, I know, I know

I know it's different now, but

Why can't things just be normal?

I wanna go, wanna go, wanna go back

To the way things were, yeah

Why can't things just be normal?

I wanna go, wanna go, wanna go back

To the way things were, yeah

Why can't things just be normal?

Why can't things just be normal?

I wanna go, wanna go, wanna go back

To the way things were

Why can't things just be normal?

I wanna go, wanna go, wanna go back

To the way things were

Why can't things just be normal?
