Stay

Wake, eat, breathe
Wait, watch, sleep away the worry
Connect without meetin'
Missin' while seein' your face on a screen the size of my hand
Hopin' to see you again
Close the door da
Wash the food before touchin' the hands that are crackin' like they did
When you painted school railings in the rain
Keep safe, stay in
Keep goin', stay sane
Relax, read, do the things you’ve been meanin' 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, cookin' and nothin' worse than a whiner
So smile, and post that online too
How about not knowin' what to do for a while
Figure it out before it all goes back to a before
We couldn’t keep up with, and keep the good bits
The laughin' 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 'bout not getting dressed
Hearin' birds again, now the traffic has been turned down
Singin' songs like you did the first time, music to my ears
That I get from me mams side, who I miss
While I wake, eat, breathe
Wait, watch and sleep away the worry
