quarantined with my favorite person
nowhere to play but still rehearsing
drinking tea in the afternoon
feels like one long honeymoon

I think you must be sick of me
contemplating murder in the first degree
but I am still so stuck on you
Still turned on by the things you do

when it’s over
and we can go out and play
I want nothing to change
as long as you stay

having lunch in the mid-day sun
no one to put us under the gun
walking around in the swirling leaves
coming home its time for tea

there’s no hell hound on my trail
I read the news and you let me rail
when I’ve finally shouted it out
you can always calm me down

when it’s over
and we can go out and play
I want nothing to change
as long as you stay

days turn to weeks and weeks turn to months
as we watch our country fall apart
but its all right because every day
you are here
