Well I've been liCving in a dream that I can't wake up from
Swimming upstream I can't get to the Fsea
Where the fish swim Cfree
And Cstaring at a screen that I don't get much from
Staring so long can't see wood from the Ftrees
Or the birds from the Cbees
Pré-refrain
And Ghalf of the time well it flies right by
Like Fchildhood did In the blink of an eye C
And Ghalf of the time well it goes so slow
I Fsit outside and watch the grass grow C

Couplet
Well I've been runCning on a treadmill legs like lead
Will there ever be a needle for this thread
I've been Fweaving since I was born? C
And the paCpers read and the government said
I should stay in bed to stop the virus spread
I won't be Fleaving for so long C
Pré-refrain
Well Gsome nights I feel okay
I Fclose my eyes and I drift away C
GSome nights I just lay and stare at the Fceiling
Like it's gonna go somewhere C
