Boat (explicit)

Written summer of 2020. Now that 2020 is hindsight, this still rings true. I’m still angry.

We could sit and talk about it
What else are we gonna do?
We could choose to bitch about it
Well, I’m way ahead of you
Use this time for self improvement
Well, that’s just a fool’s game
‘Cause I know when tomorrow’s yesterday
We’re still pretty much the same
And so it goes…

I tried to run but it wasn’t happening
I tried to sing but I couldn’t find the notes
Tried to tell you what it is I’m feeling
but the words caught in my throat

You say that this happens for a reason
I tell you this really sucks
You say that it will make us stronger
Well, I think we’re royally fucked
Don’t get me wrong, I see the brightside
And that’s why I get so stressed
Ask me why I am pissed, I’m an idealist
And we do that shit the best
And so I’m, like…

I tried to run but it wasn’t happening
I tried to sing but I couldn’t find the notes
Tried to tell you what it is I’m feeling
but the words caught in my throat
I had to start from the beginning
I had to rewrite everything I wrote
But I know you will understand it
Cause we’re in the same boat

And when this, this is over there will be no doubt
And when this is finally over
There’s nothing to talk about
Nothing left to talk about

sigh

I tried to run but it wasn’t happening
I tried to sing but I couldn’t find the notes
I tried to promise you a happy ending
But the words caught in my throat
Might have to start from the beginning
But we’re together no matter how remote
Living in these different worlds but
We are still in the same boat
