LISTEN & LYRICS | FLETCHER – Eras Of Us

By  | 

It had been over a year since FLETCHER had released new music, but the singer is now ready for a new Era. 

After the release of her debut full length album in September 2022, Cari Fletcher had embarked on the Girl Of My Dreams tour in North America before heading to Europe to open for Panic! At The Disco. 

However, a few day short of the European leg of the Girl Of My Dreams tour, the 29-year-old had announced stepping back to focus on her health after being diagnosed with Lyme Disease.

But in a series of TikTok posted over the past ten days, the singer had started sharing lyrics from a new single, “Eras Of Us.” 

Released today (Friday, December 8), “Eras Of Us” was co-written by Fletcher and Jennifer Decilveo, who’s also credited as a songwriter on “All Love,” “Sting,” and “Girl Of My Dreams”.

The music video for the song, directed by Alexandre Moors, was filmed last month in Paris, France and premiered today along with the song.

Check out the new track and read the lyrics below!

FLETCHER – Eras Of Us Lyrics

[Verse 1]

How are you doin’?

Where have you been?

I’ve been practicin’ this moment for like twenty-somethin’ years in my head

“It’s nice to meet you”

That’s what I said

You said, “Baby, this is gonna be some movie shit we’ll never forget”

Sometimes I re-run those sixteen seasons for the rush

[Chorus]

These are the eras of us, a story of love

Stealin’ the air right from my lungs

Girl of my dreams

Forever we’re young

Remember it just the way it was

The eras of us

[Verse 2]

I’m New York City (I’m New York City), you were L.A. (You were L.A.)

I would fly across the country just to kiss you and be back in a day (Oh-oh-oh)

We crashed just as quick as we burned, 

Now someone new get a turn,

I don’t know you and it hurts (Mm-hmm)

I told every one of my friends,

You won’t get a lyric again,

But God damn, here I f*ckin’ am

[Chorus]

Stuck in the eras of us, a story of love

Stealin’ the air right from my lungs

Girl of my dreams, forever we’re young

Remember it just the way it was

The eras of us

[Bridge]

I didn’t mean it when I said I was numb

‘Cause I’m feelin’ every feelin’ cuttin’ straight to my guts

But the problem is that I’m just an adrenaline slut

Yeah, I said it, so what?

Lately, I’ve been swingin’ fists and startin’ a fight

I’ve been tryna kill the memory of you in my mind

It’s a cross I’m gonna bear until the day that I die

Yeah, I said it

[Chorus]

Oh, I miss the eras of us, a story of love

Stealin’ the air right from my lungs

Girl of my dreams, I fucked it up

We had it all and now it’s just

[Outro]

How are you doin’?

Where have you been?

I been practicin’ this moment, but I never thought I’d see you again
