In Between Years Lyrics

We're sitting in a park

A couple feet apart

Nothing to do but talk until we feel a spark

I've heard there's a lot of good shows lately

I had a couple plans

For the year, but they got dashed

It's crazy to me how it happened so fast

I still try not to get angry

You ask me what I would do if we were living in a different universe

I think I've got your answer here

I ask respectfully if you'd imagined how things could get worse

Than living in between years

So what TV have you been watching while our country falls apart?

A remedy to keep you waiting, while we're scraping in the dark to find ourselves

Rock bottom mental health

I lost my sense of self

Nothing anybody else could do to help

Still, we all tried to do our best

You're living with your folks

That used to be a joke

'Til everyone got fired and now we feel the smoke

Rising like the plumes throughout the West

So what TV have you been streaming while our country falls apart?

A remedy to keep you dreaming, while we're screaming in the dark to find ourselves

Everyone's exhausting from holding so tightly for so long

And all the facets of fear

And everyone's depleted from holding on and on and on

And living in between years

So tell me — are you ready for it?

For our country to fall apart?

Going up in red and black and orange

While we forage in the dark to find ourselves

Can anybody help?

And that unnatural blue glare

Signals waving in air

Gave proof through the night

That some hope was still there

But I'm sick

I'm sick of living

I'm sick of living in between years
