about

A song I wrote in April 2020 about obvious things.

lyrics

It feels wrong to hear your favorite song if you're not around
You're the one who's picking me up when I knock myself down
I've been dancing every day all alone in my room
I know you are far away but you're dancing too

It feels wrong to hear the cars go by if they shouldn't be around
Cover my face up when I go outside though there's no one in town
I've been spending all my life so afraid to speak
Though my voice is louder still my knees are weak

I can't seem to find what I'm missin'
But I'll call every night long distance

It feels wrong to put a record on if you're not around
It's just different when we sing along but you are southbound
I've been waitin' for so long for the plane to land
For the day you come home and I kiss your hand

I can't seem to find what I'm missin'
But I'll call every night long distance

I can't seem to find what I'm missin'
But I'll call every night long distance
