I'm going out at night
The streets in Portland are all empty
Try to catch a bite
But I hear they've closed down Mississippi
Looking at the stars
Looking at corona
The millions out there
We don't know of
Looking at the stars
Looking at corona
Wondering where we go when we're lonely
And they close the districts down
now the lights are out
I've never felt so lost in a city
Try to see the milky way
But all I read is Ground glass opacities
Looking at the stars
Looking at corona
Could it be the end
Of all that we know of
Looking at the stars
Looking at corona
Wondering where we go when we're lonely
And they close the districts down
Yes I'm home alone
There's no place else I'd rather be
Than with you on the phone
Under a two week state quarantine
Heard that you got sick
Lines and tubes to keep you breathing
Sine waves on a screen
Windfalls for pharmaceutical industry
Looking at the curve
Flattened to a plateau
We're fighting hard against
Viral overload
Looking at the stars
So nice to see ya
It's nice to hear you're feeling better
Meet up with me
When it's all over
Breathe in deeply
The warm smell of summer
