[Sample - Bon Iver]

Turn around, you're my- you're my- now-, A-Team

Turn around now, you're my-, now-, A-Team

(*Plays throughout*)


[Verse 1]

Up all night with these thoughts in my head

I know I should be asleep instead

The sun's coming up, the skies are turning light

But the worries in my mind are just burning bright

For instance, I've been indoors due to COVID-19

The chances of a cure in a month so unlikely

Boris has a lockdown in place, with acclamation

But is there such thing as too much isolation?

The fact I'm stuck indoors all day is a tragedy

No friends in my prescence but my family

I should be at the studio, making more hits

But they shut it down, fearing things'll get morbid

I could go for a walk, alone for 60 minutes

But there's not many places open for a visit

All my plans for the future packed loosely

Don't know what to do, other than go back to sleep


[Verse 2]

As I sit here, writing these lyrics so fluient

I wonder if Dan's proud of me for what I'm doing

As he watches from somewhere that I don't know

If I died yesterday, where would my new home go?

And what of Luis, Joel, Albert, Aka and Charlie?

Would they be 'round when this is over to party?

Miss Corona won't let up, that's a given

I would pray to God, but I don't think he'd listen

What about the care home that I'm working at

And the things that might be occurring at

That familiar place, outside my hometown

Residents healthy, after their brains have broke down

Sure, the joy I have doesn't pay an awful lot

But at the moment, I feel as though that's all I've got

Hope I'm not laid off, hope my job's not toyed about

'Cause I'd be fucked if I become unemployed now


[Verse 3]

I wonder at times, am I just overthinking?

My head pounds, but I haven't been drinking

So much going on, so much frustration

Maybe I should take myself out the equation

"But nah bro, that's not the answer

Wait 'till life gets better, give it a chance sir

Just stay inside, if it means you'll keep your health."

That's just some things I tell myself

Self-isolation's being a long haul

I develop cabin fever, caged by these 4 walls

I wish I could ignore emotional overlay

Grab a few things and become a run away

But I don't see a change in pace for a while alright

Guess it's best to sleep all day and work all night

Maybe it's best that my days be shortened

So don't wake me up, unless it's important!
