lyrics
This has been the longest 2 weeks of my life
And I can't tell if I'm doing fine or if I'm falling behind
Just to know that I'm still alive
All you can do is try to keep your head above the tide
And I'm wandering these streets
Looking for something comforting that means a whole lot to me
I'm running out of time
Will you be mine?
It's about time I felt the sunshine
Winter winds blow cold on my neck
It's better than not feeling at all
Numb to the world
Now that all is said and done
It's getting hard to hide the shakes
Locked in a room with no windows, high resistance
We're in this for the long haul
Afraid you won't know what to say
Afraid I'll say the wrong thing
It's hard to realize how little you know people anymore
Things can't stay like that forever
