lyrics

Lyrics:

As if it isn't enough,
Got an overwhelming amount of stuff to do,
to write, get through tonight.
But I just might take a second to think,
which is harder when you haven't slept a wink,
and your mind won't turn.
But you're fine, you've learned:
Come whatever, just keep it together.
Call up a friend and listen to some good advice:

One thing at a time.
Instead of a mountain it's a few small hills to climb.
You'll have highs and lows.
Just ride the wave and take it slow. Go with the flow.

Another day passes by.
You blink in April, wake up in July, confused.
Hit snooze. But you see the news.
And you could choose to sit back and forget.
But we can't pretend we're back to normal yet.
It could last a while.
Let it pass, try to smile.
Come whatever, just keep it together.
And phase by phase, and days and days of stay-cays until we're on our way!

And I know we'll make it through.
But there's still a lot of work to do.
And I shouldn't have to ask:
Follow the rules and please wear your mask.
It's not a hard task.
Take a step back, if you do your part I'll do mine.
We'll be fine if we take

One thing at a time.
Go take a breath, go take a break. That's not a crime.
Nothing feels the same.
A new set of rules, a whole different game. You’re not to blame.

One thing at a time.
Instead of a mountain it's a few small hills to climb.
You'll have highs and lows.
Just ride the wave and take it slow. Go with the flow.
