lyrics

we’re sitting in a park
a couple feet apart
nothing to do but talk until we feel a spark
I’ve heard there’s a lot of good shows lately

I had a couple plans
for the year but they got dashed
it’s crazy to me how it happened so fast
I still try not to get angry

you ask me what I would do if we were living in a different universe
I think I’ve got your answer, here
I asked respectfully if you’d imagined how things could get worse
than living in between years

so what TV have you been watching while our country falls apart?
a remedy to keep you waiting, while we’re scraping in the dark to find ourselves

rock bottom mental health
I lost my sense of self
nothing anybody else could do to help
still, we tried to do our best

you’re living with your folks
that used to be a joke
til everyone got fired and now we feel the smoke
rising like the plumes throughout the West

so what TV have you been streaming while our country falls apart?
a remedy to keep you dreaming, while we’re screaming in the dark to find ourselves

everyone's exhausted from holding so tightly for so long
and all the facets of fear
everyone’s depleted from holding on and on and on
and living in between years

so tell me -- are you ready for it?
for our country to fall apart?
going up and red and black and orange, while we forage in the dark to find ourselves
can anybody help?

and that unnatural blue glare
signals waving in air
gave proof through the night
that some hope was still there

but I'm sick
I'm sick of living
I'm sick of living in between years
