When This Is Over
Lyrics and music (c) Maria Verven

When this is over, we’ll connect in Triple D (3D)
Give a hug to all my friends and not just virtually

We’ll make a big commotion, dance in real live crowds
Let’s do the locomotion and party really loud

Bridge
I need three dimensions; I’m tired of only two
When I see you on the screen, it only makes me blue

Refrain
So when this is over and we all get to see
Our lives have changed, it’s rearranged
How we were meant to be

Keeping my distance is driving me insane
So close and yet so far away, it’s oh so inhumane

We must stick together; together we will stand
With hope in our hearts we’ll soon walk hand in hand

Bridge
I need three dimensions; I’m tired of only two
When I see you on the screen, it only makes me blue

Refrain
So when this is over and we all get to see
Our lives have changed, it’s rearranged
How we were meant to be

Bridge
Keeping my distance is driving me insane
So close and yet so far away, with so much more to say (pause)

Refrain
So when this is over and we all get to see
Our lives have changed, it’s rearranged
How we were meant to be (repeat)
