Bad Timing by Jeff Pianki

uncertain
old burdens
all surfaced
i said it

i fucked up
then went home
then woke up
pandemic

i need this
i'm sorry
i'll prove it
i love you

come over
you can stay here
we'll wait it out together

bad timing
she tells me
door opens
i'm crying

i hold on
she lets me
i mumble
i'm trying

one day we'll both feel better
bad news can't last forever

i'm sorry
i meant it
what's one more pandemic?

the weeks move
she visits
brings canned food
i wash dishes

the city
feels empty
life's different
a little lonely

we play cards in the bedroom
she's laughing
forgetting

we hold on
take a moment
then back to
pandemic

uncertain
old burdens
i'm learning my lesson

i love you
please stay here
we'll wait out
pandemic
