Shelter In Place

about

Inspired by Oliver Ralli's Social Distance Songwriter Series, I wrote and recorded this song while sheltering in place during the Coronavirus quarantine in NYC, March 2020

lyrics

Lock ourselves in and lose the key
Now we dream of how things used to be

Touch my face and I’ll touch your face
There’s something in the air between us babe

Every second of your life goes ticking by
The terror in your voice matches the flat affect in mine
Every optimist was wrong
We’re living in the twilight zone

Shelter in place like criminals
Or rich kids drowning in their swimming pools

Writing songs to pass the time
Laying low was our big sacrifice

Every second of your life goes ticking by
The terror in your voice matches the flat affect in mine
Birds are singing in their nests
The cognitive dissonance is deafening I guess
Every optimist was wrong
We’re living in the twilight zone
