Counted all the wrinkles in my bed sheets
Watching all the reruns and the repeats
Counted to infinity and back again

When daily life is full with pathogens and landmines
It’s the docs who are fighting on the front lines
The rest of us just need a little distance

Think about my mom when she’s fighting other battles
Will I even keep my job?

This is my new life as a Quaranteen
Pandemic nation like I’ve never seen

Homeward bound after exodus from uni
Hoping that we’ll all be free by June, see
This new existence is really pretty bland

Think of all the friends I never bid farewell to
With no chance to say so long

This is my new life as a Quaranteen
Pandemic nation like I’ve never seen

When daily life is full of pathogens and landmines
It’s the docs who are fighting on the front lines
The rest of us just need a little distance

I want you to know
That I miss you
And I’ll see you on the other side

I’ll write you letters from my quarantine
Pandemic nation like I’ve never seen

When daily life is full of pathogens and landmines
It’s the docs who are fighting on the front lines
The rest of us just need a little distance

And I need you to know
That I miss you
And I’ll see you on the other side
