how does it feel to be all alone
in your little house with your little life
how does it feel to be all alone
with nothing to do except look at your phone
how does it feel you got nowhere to go
your schedule's clear
you're living in fear
you're sleeping in
you ain't gonna see nobody again
how does it feel to be all alone
in your little house with your little life
how does it feel to be all alone
with nothing to do except look at your phone
how does it feel you got nowhere to go
the restaurant's closed
the bar's closed
your fridge is full
your bar is stocked
and cox just turned your internet off
wait
cox just turned your internet on!
how does it feel to be all alone
you got no job but you still got your phone
you got your guitar baby you're on a roll
guess its time to start an internet show

i'm waking up
cause you woke me up
when the sun came up
i don't mind, i don't mind
you walk the floor
open the back door
let the dogs outside
i wipe the sleep from my eyes
i don't mind the things you do
i like passing time with you
when i was tied up
and you were tied up too
at the bar you kissed me
and i kissed you
that was long ago
we were fancy free
now that bar is closed
we're living in a quarantine
i don't mind the things you do
i like passing time with you
i'm waking up
i'm awake with love
we're staying in
until they let us out again
i don't mind the things you do
i don't mind staying in with you
i like passing time with you
i don't mind the things you do

it's been some time
since you've been gone
i haven't been home
since you've been gone
there's some nights
you come to me
those sweet dreams
they carry me
i'm glad we said goodbye
glad we had the time
time to watch the sun set and rise
and i hope
you hear this song
if you want to
you can sing along
cause i know
i'm not alone
you still follow
whereever i go
i'm glad we said goodbye
glad we had the time
time to watch the sun set and rise

oh, that'll be the day
when i can be with my friends
oh, can't wait for the day
when my friends don't have to stand six feet away
let's pile up in my car
over the bridge to our favorite bar
miss martha pours 'em strong
all night long
babe, toss your mask in the trash
tonight we're gonna have a blast
pass that spliff i'll share my flask
all night long
hot bands playing all over town
a lotta good shit's going down
gonna spin you round and round
all night long
let's get drunk and roll on the floor
coronavirus ain't here no more
feels good to be out again
oh i miss my friends
oh, that'll be the day
when i can be with my friends
oh, can't wait for the day
when my friends don't have to stand six feet away.
when i can be with my friends

please don't die
02:50
|
|||
|
we were talking bout the end of days
we laughed and we cried and we went our way
it don't mean nothing when we say goodbye
but you never know it could be the last time
please don't die, please don't die, please don't die, please don't die
i looked you in the eye and i said "i don't want you to die"
you looked me in the eye and said "neither do i"
early in the morning the dogs were barking loud
i went to go see what the fuss was all about
a little black bird was flying through the room
i grabbed a broom and shooed it out the door
the doors were all closed, the windows were all closed
how that bird got in here, nobody knows
please don't die, please don't die, please don't die, please don't die
i dreamed that we were driving on a bridge last night
the water was so high it was all over the road
the windshield wipers on, the waves were splashing
we kept on driving, that's when i woke up
it was late at night, three knocks on the door
there's blood on my doorway again
i reach for my phone, the battery is low
gotta keep my phone alive, gotta my self alive
please don't die, please don't die, please don't die, please don't die
i looked you in the eye and i said "i don't want you to die"
you looked me in the eye and said "neither do i"
please don't die, please don't die, please don't die, please don't die

one of these days i'll write it down
one of these days i'll work it out
i've been watching the flowers grow
i've been watching the season change
one of these days i'll make the grade
one of these days i'll know what to say
i've been walking the riverside
i've been watching the waters high
one of these days i'll finish a song
one of these days i'll learn em all
i've been watching the sun go down
hurts my eyes but i can't stop looking now

chocolate

i received your letter
days after you died
it said: return to sender
it had the wrong address
inside were chocolate coins
and crooked letters
few words falling down the page
it was the shortest letter
it made it just in time
i sat in my old room
down the hall from your room
i folded the paper
and i ate a chocolate coin
i took the rest home
now they sit in a drawer
safe in my room
where i sleep every night
i think i'll have another someday
or maybe they've spoiled
and then i'll have to throw them out

i went to an antique mall
to see what i could find
something might catch my eye
something that you might like
i wanna buy things for you when i'm gone
looking through the pretty things
pretty little things for you
looking at the magazines
found a dirty magazine
i wanna do things for you when i'm home
i wanna buy things for you when i'm gone
there's something you need
something i need
something you need
something i need
i wanna buy things for you when i'm gone
looking through all the records
whipped cream and other delights
i'm gonna get you when i'm home
thinking about the picture you sent last night
i wanna buy things for you when i'm gone
looking at the magazines
waiting for this trip to end
standing here reading alone
thinking of you at the antique mall
i wanna buy things for you when i'm gone
i wanna do things for you when i'm home
there's something you need
something i need
something you need
something i need
i wanna buy things for you when i'm gone

down at the bottom
all the way
down here
i can feel you
close to me
it's good to feel you
i can look up
and see the sun
coming through the cracks
i can see your green eyes
glowing in the dark
how'd i get down here
maybe i tripped and fell
did you come in
after me
or was that me
following you down?
i can see your green eyes
glowing in the dark
holding you so close
down here in the dark
when i stare
at the sun
i can't see a thing
until my eyes adjust again
i'll just listen
for your breath
holding you so close
down here in the dark
i can see your green eyes
glowing in the dark
i can look up
and see the sun
coming through the cracks
we'll get back up there
baby
soon enough

cruise ships

empty cruise ships sailing in
down the river here they come
like a ghost town on the sea
watch as they float past me
where are all the people
what does all this mean
do you think they'll still open that cruise port
by the end of the world?
walking on the levee
what's that i see?
holy shit it's an empty cruise ship
slowly following me
where are all the people
what does all this mean
do you think they'll still open that cruise port
by the end of the world?
i have so many questions
the future is unclear

love poem

somewhere in america
the longest line is happening
today
right now
maybe it’s
happening
at the post office
or maybe the
grocery store check out
it could be at the bank
or the
customer service counter
at some place
like a target
or a walmart
the people are returning things
the people are complaining
today
right now
at the pharmacy
the people need
their pills
there is a pill
for everything
i read a story
about two lovers
magic pills
and staying in love
forever
the longest line in america
is happening
in our neighborhood
coffee shop
right now
which reminds me
i should start the coffee
soon
put the water on
but it doesn’t matter
it doesn’t matter
it doesn’t matter
we are not waiting
for any lines
under the covers
we are the only ones
making lines here
