lyrics

I don't want to wake up
I don't want to start my day off putting on my makeup
Wear a mask when I'm outside,
Then I come back home and I hang it by my bedside
I know what is waiting there and I know I should not be scared
When the road is overgrown it suffocates my soul

I just want to be with those
Friends and family I love the most
I hug them kiss them hear their jokes
But when they're away they feel like ghosts

I'm gonna save up.
Gonna take a trip to see you bring you flowers on the way up.
I'm in need of a change-up
Waking up every morning with the same bowl of grape-nuts.
I know you are waiting there, I would travel anywhere
But when the road is overgrown it suffocates my soul

I just want to be with those
Friends and family I love the most
I hug them kiss them hear their jokes
But when they're away they feel like ghosts
