There was a time
When all the doors closed
Boarded up the storefronts
Sent everyone home
No one was driving
The air was all clean
Just one of the reasons
I was grateful to breathe
What were we doing
What did we know
Before we all noticed
A hole in the boat
Sinking and swimming
Thinking were living
Ran out of lipstick to put on the pig
So don’t rock me back to sleep
'Cause I'm wide awake
And I'm done with counting sheep
I’ve had it that way
It’s not my job but it might be my turn
To get up and put in the work
This won’t have to be
The last song on earth
When there’s nothing to do
All day to do it
If you don’t use your kindness
You’re likely to lose it
It’s only human
To step outside the door
With phone keys and wallet
And a little unsure
What were we doing
What did we know
Before we all noticed
A hole in the boat
Sinking and swimming
Thinking were living
Ran out of lipstick to put on the pig
So don’t rock me back to sleep
'Cause I'm wide awake
And I'm done with counting sheep
I’ve had it that way
It’s not my job but it might be my turn
To get up and put in the work
This doesn’t have to be
The last song on earth
What were we doing
What’s the excuse
Can’t turn off the world
Like we turn off the news
Took off the blinders
Learned how to listen listen
Remember this feeling and hope for forgiveness
So don’t rock me back to sleep
'Cause I'm wide awake
And I'm done with counting sheep
I’ve had it that way
It’s not my job but it might be my turn
To get up and put in the work
This doesn’t have to be the
Last song on earth
