Look at this stuff, isn’t it neat?
I’ll never run out of cool stuff to read.
It’s amazing, it’s true, but still, it’s not, everything
Look at this phone, treasures untold
How many wonders can the internet hold?
Looking around and you’d think, sure, it’s got everything.
I’ve got accounts and fun apps a plenty.
I’ve got chargers and flowers galore.
You want cat videos? I got 20.
But who cares? No big deal. I want moooooooooore.
I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see, wanna see in person
Walking, around doing, what do you call them? Oh hugs
Sending emojis don’t get you far
In person’s required to do hand holding
Getting some warm drinks in, what’s that word again? Mugs
Out where they walk, completely carefree
Out together where they can just be
Not through a screen, wish I could be, part of that world
What would I give, if I could live out of this greenhouse?
What would I pay, to spend a day, with them at my side?
Betcha outside, I’ll feel alive, bet I’ll even feel like a human
Not a demon, sick of guarding
Ready for life
And ready to do what the people do
Ask quirky questions, have a meet cute
find out why it’s called a slow, what’s the word? Burn
when’s it my turn
wouldn’t I love
love to explore the vast world outside
outside these windows
close enough to knock elbows
and part of that world
