Stay
Wake, eat, breathe Wait, watch, sleep away the worry Connect without meeting Missing while seeing your face On a screen the size of my hand Hoping to see you again Close the door Da Wash the food before Touching the hands That are cracking like they did When you painted school railings in the rain Keep safe, stay in Keep going, stay sane Relax, read, do the things you’ve been meaning to do Shed the weight you’ve been meaning to lose But not the plot Keep that! Plant potatoes, dance with the telly Drink the wine you were keeping for ‘good’ Loosen the clothes Tighten the purse, yoga, piano, cooking And nothing worse than a whiner So smile and post that online too How about not knowing what to do for a while SongtexteFigure it out before it all goes back to a before We couldn’t keep up with And keep the good bits The laughing at ourselves Time with the kids and dog And neighbours leaving stuff on the step The bloody good excuse For not paying the bills No sweat about not getting dressed Hearing birds again Now the traffic has been turned down Singing songs like you did the first time Music to my ears That I get from me mam’s side Who I miss While I wake, eat, breathe Wait, watch and sleep away the worry Aus Songtexte Mania
