Binging RomComs

Relax, calm down

Take a shower, move some stuff around

Order in, hit the couch

The kid’s asleep, and you’re all burnt out

And I'm told it gets harder

So I snooze the news - it ruins my mood

I can’t help but feel

Alone when I fall apart

Touch some grass, work out

Give to a cause you care about

Leave your phone at the door

The scroll of doom can’t hurt you no more

And I swear it feels like

I’ve barely reached the surface

Before I’m pulled back down

By my concrete heart

Uh, binging romcoms on tv

’Cause I can’t seem to cope with this reality

But there is a rising tide

In the back of my mind, hmm, I know it

Paralyzed

While the tv screams: “Are you still watching me?”

Speak up at work

Against John who does his own research

Call your friends, make af sign

Get organized, join the picket line

‘Cause I don’t know

What to say

When the questions come

“Mom, what’s really going on?”

Uh, binging romcoms on tv

‘Cause I can’t seem to cope with this reality

But there is a rising tide

In the back of my mind, hmm, I know it

Paralyzed

While the tv screams: “Are you still watching me?”
