Stuck Inside (Pandemic Blues)

As soon as we're no longer 

Stuck inside

I want what a text, an email, an inbox could never provide

I long for intimacy, closeness, stimulation

A silent stare, deep conversation

The rebirth of chemistry, never mind the equation

The sound of jazz, the taste of libation

The smell of your cologne, the sound of the sea

The view in the mirror of you slow dancing with me

The long pause after a question, before the response

Your hungry chase, my pretend nonchalance.

And still, there's more...much more

If only you'd let me touch your

Secret place, protected space

Where hurt was buried 

And the line is blurry

The line between wanting to risk it all

And wanting to never again fall

Is the thought of love frightening?

What scares you more? Thunder or lightning?

Because I'm both 

And my rain will wash away the pain

And fill your cup so that you no longer thirst

Don't wanna hang up talking bout "You hang up first"

I'll give you what you didn't even know you needed

Find out what hunger was neglected and feed it

Just place your order and I will provide

As soon as we're no longer

Stuck inside
