lyrics

I feel as though I'm just coming to terms with time.
Now, I don't save every song.
No need for that picture deleting some of mine.
I'm fine if some memories are gone.

How much of my life have I missed looking at this phone
and who did I leave behind?
I think of all places that I want to see when we can go.
Can we go back home, if you don't mind?

It's not the life that our parents made it seem.
I like the way we are when we're in quarantine.
Who is that 6-figure-man I'm supposed to be.
I like the way we are when we're in quarantine.

A stain snuck out from the corner I can see.
I should know these 4 walls better.
I've made another ghost across the room from me.
She would love me if I let her.

Bought a budget grill and it has changed my life.
A little grass outside my home.
Apartments stacked so far like mountains to my eyes.
Some of us are stuck here all alone.

I feel a little lame but I need to remind myself sometimes:
Remember others.
be good to others.
Remember yourself.
Be good to yourself.

We're kind of all the same but I need to remind myself sometimes:
Remember others.
be good to others.
Remember yourself.
Be good to yourself.

It's not the life that our parents made it seem.
I like the way we are when we're in quarantine.
My teenage self, I'm pretty sure would laugh at me
but I like the way we are when we're in quarantine.
