Some days it just goes this way
Where I don't have much to say
But I still feel the urge to talk to you
Because I can't help but be connected
Even though I'm protected
Quarantined way up in my attic
I need to break through the static
Tell you that I need you now
It's not easy to admit it
I wish I had hid it, this craving to connect
I mean, I spent my whole life disconnecting
Disconnected is a state that I had nearly perfected
I mean I've erected this statue of isolation, isolation
So I don't need no lesson from you about this situation
I wish I needed you NEVER, but
I know I need you more than ever
I wish I was a little bit more clever, but
Instead we're stuck in this thing together
As a kid I liked to pretend that I lived alone on an island
And I didn't care that there was no one to say hi and
That was fine by me because here you see
A kid who could stare at the sky or the sea
Or make a throne from sticks and stones
Then one day I realized that I wanted to call my friend
And play with LEGO and I missed my brother
To split my Eggo waffles and
I got tired of playing games all alone
And so you see that my island throne
Had turned to stone
Without you there, I didn't want to breathe this air
And here we go back to the fact that
I don't have so much to say
Except that being alone is not how
I want to spend this day
I wish I needed you NEVER, but
I know I need you more than ever
I wish I was a little bit more clever, but
Instead we're stuck in this thing together
