CHORUS
Spending too much time in my head,
Way too much time staying in bed
Gotta get up, gotta get out. Gotta get up, gotta get out.
Gotta get up, gotta get out of this
Social isolation, social isolation
Endless isolation, social trepidation
VERSE 1
I live out here - on Calhoun Street - next to the five & dime
It’s not much more - than a dead-end street right at the end of the line,
All I got is a cardboard box, gives me shelter from the storm
Now the streets are empty. They’re stuck inside their homes
The streets are strangely quiet, like I’ve never seen before
Nobody’s walkin’ passed the threshold of my door.
Spending too much time in my head,
Way too much time staying in bed
Gotta get up, gotta get out. Gotta get up, gotta get out.
Gotta get up, gotta get out of this
Social isolation, social isolation
Endless isolation, social trepidation
VERSE 2
The birds and the bees play in the trees, it’s a real wild animal jubilee
How could they know it’s the smallest of small put Samson in his place
Now they’re all stuck in cages like monkeys in a zoo
Staring at the walls, like they’re havin’ fun, an endless game of Clue
Every part of this big wide world, locked up tighter than a drum
Keeping watch on that front door, hoping for some fun.
Spending too much time in my head,
Way too much time staying in bed
Gotta get up, gotta get out. Gotta get up, gotta get out.
Gotta get up, gotta get out of this
Social isolation, social isolation
Endless isolation, social trepidation
VERSE 3
The world is now my oyster. I own all that I see
But walls are closing in on me, push me to the brink of insanity
I need someone I can be with, just for now, not for eternity
Someone who is not afraid to touch people that they see
I’ve got no one to talk to, just the sidewalk and the air
Will you come and talk to me? Will you dare?
Spending too much time in my head,
Way too much time staying in bed
Gotta get up, gotta get out. Gotta get up, gotta get out.
Gotta get up, gotta get out of this
Social isolation, social isolation
Endless isolation, social trepidation
