There we were when the music stopped
And the lights came up
And the drinks wore off
It was the last time I saw you
I never thought there'd be a last time I saw you
We used to flock like these flocked together birds
But now it's you who's gotta be your whole universe
I whistle from my perch
From flying shoulder to shoulder
And face to face
To standing solo we stay where we're caged
Hold your applause
Life on pause
Life on pause
Life on pause
No one's immune to this sadness
To this anger and fear
And no one's immune to this virus
Or these tears
Everybody's got welled up inside us and
For now I'm all right it's just I've never been
Here before so I feel insecure and I cradle my head
In this silence
But my grief is the least of our problems
Frozen lungs and no beds in the hospitals
Can't stop it
But still I'm committed to not spread it
I'm not getting sick all I'm spreading is love and awareness
And I'm doing it here at a distance
And I'm trying my best
To remain optimistic
Life on pause
Life on pause
Life on pause
