A jaunty/maudlin C-19 inspired (if that's the word) song. Happy sounds for trying times.

lyrics

I Never Saw Them Again

I never saw him again
At the end
My best friend
I only found out today
News delayed
From far away

My hands are on fire
Flesh is flame
It’s driving me insane
Can’t handle desire
Let’s escape
So I can hold you in my arms again

But everyone’s stuck at home
We’re all on our own
I don’t want to be alone
The face on the screen
Makes me want to scream
Please don’t leave me be

I never saw them again
They were here
Then off they went
Was it something I said?
Did we just lose touch?
Did I love them enough?

My hands are on fire
Flesh is flame
It’s driving me insane
Can’t handle desire
Let’s escape
So I can hold you in my arms again

But everyone’s stuck at home
We’re all on our own
I don’t want to be alone
The face on the screen
Makes me want to scream
Please don’t leave me

It’s a contradiction
You can’t be distant and social at the same time
Fade-away conditions
We’re apparitions haunting our own lives

My hands are on fire
Flesh is flame
It’s driving me insane
Can’t handle desire
Let’s escape
So I can hold you in my arms again

I never saw her again
She lost consciousness
In the ambulance
She’s in a bed down the hall
They said I could call
But not go in

My hands are on fire
Flesh is flame
It’s driving me insane
Can’t handle desire
Let’s escape
I never held her in my arms again

’cos everyone dies alone
We’re all on our own
I don’t want to be alone
The face on the screen
Makes me want to scream
Why’d you leave me

Everyone is alone
We’re all on our own
I don’t want to be alone
The face on the screen
Makes me want to scream
I don’t want to be
