“Two Weeks Ago” is a ballad filled with regret. It tells the story of missed opportunities and unspoken words, with Peters herself describing the song as a “time machine”. It’s the third single from her sophomore album, The Good Witch.
One of the gentler songs on the record, the song has simpler in...
[Verse 1]
I wish it was two weeks ago
In your room that night, I wish I'd known
When you held me tight, wish I hadn't let go
And I wish it was two weeks ago
I wish we kissed when we first wanted
And we didn't miss all the time we did
When we said goodbye, wish I hadn't let go
And I wish it was two weeks ago
[Chorus]
You were driving fast, I was holding back
And I loved you, babe, but I bet you knew that
The song was true and the sky was black
God, I wish it was two weeks ago
When you said we're like your mom and dad
Knew you loved me, babe, when you told me that
And the song was true and the sky was black
God, I wish it was two weeks ago, woah
I wish it was two weeks ago, woah
[Verse 2]
I wish when we went to thе beach that day
We'd taken morе pictures, I'd been more brave
I was happier than I'd ever known
Now I wish it was two weeks ago
The airport broke us in two
A friend drove me 'cause you couldn't do
That last kiss, couldn't look at you
But I wish I did
[Chorus]
You were falling fast, I was holding back
And I loved you, babe, but I bet you knew that
The song was true and the sky was black
God, I wish it was two weeks ago
When you said we're like your mom and dad
Knew you loved me, babe, when you told me that
And the song was true and the sky was black
God, I wish it was two weeks ago, woah (Woah)
I wish it was two weeks ago, woah (Woah)
I wish it was two weeks ago (Oh)
I wish it was two weeks ago, woah (Woah)
[Outro]
I was yours so fast, I was scared so bad
God, I loved you, babe, did I tell you that?
The song was true, now it's all I have
And I wish it was two weeks ago
And when you said we're like your mom and dad
Knew you loved me, babe, when you told me that
Now this song's for you, and it's all we have
And I wish it was two weeks ago

Track 11! “Two weeks ago” :’)
This song is the epitome of bittersweet – I wrote it post-heartbreak when I just kept wishing it was two weeks ago. It’s about the drive to the airport when you can’t stop crying, and wishing you’d told someone how you felt when you felt it.
I got my dear friend, Gret...
I wrote the song with Brad [Ellis] and Jez [Ashurst], in the same studio we wrote “Place We Were Made”, “Favourite Ex” [and] “Best I’ll Ever Sing”. Like all of those songs, it was our last attempt of the day, a final Hail Mary before I went to Finsbury Park for dinner with my friends. Jez [Ashurst]...
There’s a Lucy Dacus song, ‘Night Shift’, where she goes, ‘In five years, I hope the songs feel like covers’. At some stage, it does—and you can’t believe you once felt like that. When I released ‘Two Weeks Ago’, it was a year on from when I wrote it. It was an accurate reflection of who I was then,...
