lyrics
Every morning I decide that
I'm not looking at my phone today
and every day I'm divided
between news feeds and Twitter again
There are things we won't say out loud
trying not to think too much
watching canaries choke out
I'll admit that I'm afraid
I might cry or burst into laughter
but I'll see you after all this is over.
The new dance move is pacing back and forth
like a tiger inside of a tiny enclosure.
So let's dance.
I know that I tend to spiral.
I tend to assume the worst.
Might be an instinct for survival.
I don't know.
Yes, I am a lucky man.
I still have a job for now,
I'm still healthy and
I'm not alone.
I might cry or burst into laughter
but I'll see you after all this is over.
The new dance move is pacing back and forth
like a tiger inside of a tiny enclosure.
So let's dance.
