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 breath
What were we doing
What did we know
Before we all noticed a hole in the boat
Sinking and swimming
Thinking we're 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
And it's not my job but it might be my turn
To get up and put in the work
So this won't have to be the last song on Earth
When there's nothing to do
And all day to do it
So don't use your kindness
You're likely to lose it
And 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 we're 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
And it's not my job but it might be my turn
To get up and put in the work
So this won'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
Learn how to listen
Remember this feeling and hope for forgiveness
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
And it's not my job but it might be my turn
To get up and put in the work
So this won't have to be the last song on Earth
