lyrics

Back in March the streets were empty and now they’re filling up
With people with plans unafraid of getting hurt

Part of the problem is you and me we’re just forever free wanting to fill space with anything
I’ve had my days where I’ve done things that I shouldn’t have just to check my pulse

And I’m stuck between my needs, and what doesn’t need me
I fit quite nicely, in the middle

My brain’s about to burst and the only thing to snuff out the match is a person to person exchange of words
So, put on your mask and step outside
Or take off your mask and settle down

Back in March my thoughts were empty prepare for holing up
Cut all my ties, considered quitting my job

But part of the problem is you and me we have forever needs, needing to feel things
Like intimacy
I’ve had my days where I’ve done things that I shouldn’t have just to keep my head
