about

I can't believe this is the FIRST love song you're hearing from me. Recently, I realized I never released one, and I was inspired by creative ways people find to keep their relationships alive or even starting new ones in the quarantine.
I started making this song with a recording I found on my phone and I felt like I had to use it. I have no idea why I didn't look at its way for weeks. It was one of those songs that wrote itself. I just put down whatever I envisioned for these characters directly into words. The whole process of writing and even producing was... kinda effortless. (I honestly can't believe I can use production and effortless in the same sentence)

lyrics

I think I saw you walking
Across the crosswalk
In the middle of the street
God knows there's no fear anymore
That cars would come and sweep us all under

I think I saw you with a man
Coffee in your hand
Logo of a house I know
Trying to know you
But it's not right anymore
To stand still for too long

This is a love story in quarantine times
This is a love story in quarantine times

For now, I'm just hanging there to survive
Not get into anyone's way
I couldn't see your face anyway
The mask only gave the brown of your eyes away

It's crazy times
We're lost in the dark
Collectively traumatized
Do you see them too?
The shapes on your ceiling
Cracks in your walls

This is a love story in quarantine times
This is a love story in quarantine times

Then I saw you across my apartment
Watering your plants in your balcony
I never pegged you as a plant man
Well I waved at you and said

I like cactuses and succulents and
All the other living things
You said
I like 'em too
Would you like to
Have some tea across my balcony
At your own
'Cause like
Social distancing

This is a love story in quarantine times
This is a love story in quarantine times
This is a love story in quarantine times
This is a love story in quarantine times
