This is our "pandemic song." As difficult as the pandemic was and has been, it was still a ripe time to fall in love.
lyrics
I have lived my whole life, just like you.
I don't know if I can write about anything that I've ever wanted.
I don't know how to keep on going, but I'm on it.
I hope this letter finds you well.
I've done much better for myself.
I know if all of us had wealth, we'd be much better off.
I don't know how I keep my cool.
It seems like all of us, and you, wanna be better than the truth.
But it's not anything.
And you keep holding me down.
And I keep holding me down.
I keep my heart clutched to my chest, and you're just like me.
So afraid of what comes next.
I keep these feelings to myself, and you're just like me.
But the next move won't make itself.
I don't know who I think I am, just like you.
I don't know who I wanna be.
But I know that everything we've tried so far has failed.
And now I'm ready to try anything.
I know that all our plans have come to a halt.
And I just wanna scream, but not without all our friends.
Pretty soon, we'll be back outside.
We'll forget we weren't alive.
We'll be together, you and I.
I keep my heart clutched to my chest, and you're just like me.
So afraid of what comes next.
I keep these feelings to myself, and you're just like me.
But the next move won't make itself.
And all my time could be used much better.
And maybe if I tried, I could get much better.
And you're just like me.
