[Chorus]

I'm stuck inside

And that's usually alright

But now it's like my life

Is based on trying not to die

I'm also trying not to cry

It's not the virus I don't like

It's being fucking stuck inside (Look)


[Verse 1]

I know it's trivial

But now I'm thinking 'bout all of the things I didn't do

When I was free to walk the streets

But I have empathy for those that have it worse than me

But still

I've taken up a new skill

To get me by these shitty times

Don't tell me how to feel

That's real

Now I'm cooking every meal

It used to come on two or four wheels


[Chorus]

I'm stuck inside

And that's usually alright

But now it's like my life

Is based on trying not to die

I'm also trying not to cry

It's not the virus I don't like

It's being fucking stuck inside

Don't wanna pay no mind

To tweets on the timeline

Of politics, deceit, and lies

I know that this will all be fine

It's not the virus I don't like

It's being fucking stuck inside (Look)


[Verse 2]

I want a cigarette

Not 'cause I'm craving it

But just because I wanna touch the air and live in it

I'm really sick of it

This stupid kitchenette

And my damn silhouette

I'm bored, like...

I ordered a vacuum online

'Cause cleaning's better than watching the time

No lie

Fetch me a Dettol wipe and I'll get by

I wanna try on all my clothes

Put on a fashion show

And no one needs to know

But the laundry in my room

Is piled up to the moon

I like to wash them at the launderette, but


[Chorus]

I'm stuck inside

And that's usually alright

But now it's like my life

Is based on trying not to die

I'm also trying not to cry

It's not the virus I don't like

It's being fucking stuck inside

Don't wanna pay no mind

To tweets on the timeline

Of politics, deceit, and lies

I know that this will all be fine

It's not the virus I don't like

It's being fucking stuck inside


[Outro]

And that's usually alright

But now it's like my life

Is based on trying not to die

I'm also trying not to cry

It's not the virus I don't like

It's being fucking stuck inside

Don't wanna pay no mind

To tweets on the timeline

Of politics, deceit, and lies

I know that this will all be fine

It's not the virus I don't like

It's being fucking stuck inside
