Lyrics and Credits for “That Was Then” (2022) by Abbie Sawyer

That Was Then

Baby it’s cold outside and I wanna feel feel that sun again 

Ooo it’s cold outside and I wanna feel feel that love again 

Do you remember last summer with our toes in the grass and ice in our glass 

We were speaking in riddles knowing we’d deal with the meaning of what we were feeling later

We walked for miles till our feet got tired daylight fading 

We left that riddle unsaid

That was then

(Ooo) That was then (Ooo) 

When we made a deal in the field on that summer day

The warming air helped it feel more far away 

And somewhere on the ocean someone’s sailing far from all the things we said 

Having long forgotten the way the trees look when they’re turning red

We found the shade and that’s where we laid an’ swore we’d be back soon

We watched the leaves turn red

That was then

(Ooo) That was then (Ooo) 

I waited long for the light to follow me 

Last night I dreamed of you like a memory

Something in the way you said my name my soul it rang out loud

We drove to the ocean then we just had to put those windows down

Drivin’ fast and drivin’ free the wind was in my hand

With a bloom in my heart again

(Ooo) That was then 

(Ooo) That was then (Ooo)
