“2020” was written about how the year of the same name has been so wild with almost no time to breathe.
The song was first debuted on week 12 of Folds’s weekly Apartment Request show.
The song features a stripped-down sound, with nothing more than just the piano and vocals.
2020 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
New Year's Eve, don't it seem
Like decades ago?
Back in 2019
Back when life was slow
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]

'Cause there's plenty left to wreck
We got six months left
[Outro]
How many years
How many years will we try
How many years will we try
To cram into one?
