TNOD Spring 20: Awake

lyrics

I am awake for the first time today
Even though it’s evening where you are
Might seem half-baked but I’ll say it anyway
I miss riding shotgun in that Cavalier supercar
Now you’re going to be a dad, it’s true
Never thought I’d ever say that to you
Evidently love is blind (and I’ve got)
Melbourne on my mind

I am awake and I watch the news
I try to keep abreast of situations
Now Earth has got them ol’ pandemic blues
I’d like to change the world but I can’t change the station
Too many commentators are everyday potatoes
Internet headline fakers, alt-right snowflake haters
I wish we could be more kind
I’ve got Melbourne on my mind

I hope that the kid
Gets your wife’s looks and cool accent but your wit
And when she’s old enough to know
I will tell her how you stole my Zoso

I am awake for the last time today
In the dark wondering where we go from here
I need a break but I can’t look away
Wide-eyed and holding on to hope that love will conquer fear
My mind is better knowing that your family is growing
I think everything will turn out fine
I’m sitting here in Rensselaer with Melbourne on my mind
Yeah I’m stuck inside of Rensselaer with Melbourne on my mind
