They don’t care that we are friends

as long as their protocols are being filled right
F G C
and the decisions they make won’t affect our own lives
they're satisfied
They’re closing borders again now
it’s too expensive to save lives
so you will be getting paid now
for letting people die?
I wish they could have seen your face
reading that paper in the hallway
and I wish I didn’t have to
but as long as the protocols are being filled right
and the decisions they make won’t affect our own lives
You texted me 2 nights later
”I’m on a bus but I hope to see you again
I’ve been drinking 20 red bulls to stay sharp
in case there’s a border control”
I hope the stars shine bright
wherever you are tonight
the police can chase somebody else now
but it’s you I’ll be thinking about
but as long as the protocols are being filled right
and the decisions they make won’t affect our own lives
