2020
Great Good Fine OK Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's alright
To realize
That I'm never ready
To be on my own
Try to act numb
'Cause we're not getting any younger now
I know it's kinda heavy sometimes
Don't tell me that you're ready to try
'Cause it's 2020
Ooh it's a little too late for you to notice
I needed you, I was at my lowest
But now you gotta disappear
Ooh you know that I hoped it wasn't hopeless
I felt like my life was outta focus
But now I'm seeing crystal clear
It's 2020
Back then
Remember when
In 2010
It almost ended
On the subway
Where you begged me
To be patient
But we're not getting any younger now
I know it's kinda heavy sometimes
Yeah we're not getting any younger now
Don't tell me that you're ready to try
'Cause it's 2020
Ooh it's a little too late for you to notice
I needed you I was at my lowest
But now you gotta disappear
Ooh you know that I hoped it wasn't hopeless
I felt like my life was outta focus
But now I'm seeing crystal clear
We're so good but the timings bad
Can't keep what we never had but we held on way too long
I know now it'll get change
I can't hear what you didn't say
I can see that it's too late now
(It's 2020)
Ooh it's a little too late for you to notice
I needed you I was at my lowest
But now you gotta disappear
Ooh you know that I hoped it wasn't hopeless
I felt like my life was outta focus
But now I'm seeing crystal clear

The song reflects on a past relationship that almost ended in 2010, but the couple held on too long. Now, in 2020, it's a little too late for the other person to notice how much the singer needed them when they were at their lowest point. However, the singer is now seeing things more clearly and is ready to let go.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the theme of time passing quickly and the need to accept that things have changed: "Yeah we're not getting any younger now / Don't tell me that you're ready to try / 'Cause it's 2020". The repetition of the phrase "Ooh it's a little too late for you to notice" highlights the sense of missed opportunities and regret.
