Stay at home Lyrics

Lover

Leave early so you may not

Catch the traffic or the crowd

Of your city

Mask up from your nose

Down to your jaw and bring

The acetate shield, lest you forget

Call me when you're finally

In my municipality

My homeland is yours now

So, step right in

I've opened the door

Here, you can safely stay

They say the borders are to be locked

From all sides

Tomorrow and so on

God knows how long this will go on

But the blue walls of this house

Shall keep us

Away from the blight, chaos and demise

My love, we are on exile and this is unideal

But I am ready to pluck

The midnight stars

And put them as ceiling lights

Lay some clouds down like foams

For your coffee

And all our great memories hung in tapestry

I'm excited to sip morning coffees

Like the 5 am dates we had

In cafés, you're scrolling

Your laptop with one hand

The other holding mine

You never minded the watchful eyes

From the other tables

Now, getting home from outdoor walks

Before each breaking dawn

We check for news on phones

Ending every minute

With rolling eyes and groans

Fruits and meals ordered on deliveries

From online hubs and bagsakan

You always cook the best dish and treats

We could throw Zoom parties

With our friends at nights we feel

Distance stretch out time

Longer than ever

Your teaching fellows

My Summer Girls

And the Soju on ceramics overflown

We squeeze out what's left of

The optimism that friendships

Outlive pandemics

When comes December

We'll hang bright-golden lights

On the wall and pretend

All loosed hell has come to an end

And maybe it could renew

Our long-lost faith

On deities and flying sleighs

Although, In all honesty, I would say

With all the troubles and bedlams

The anticipation of the coming of the night

Keeps me from breaking

Because that's when you hold me

Close to your chest, watching

Netflix cheesy series, drinking

Soju with kisses in between

The world outside is haunting

And here with you is my safe heaven

My home
