When this covid thing isn’t a thing, I’ll meet you out for dinner
I’ll kiss you hello and hug you goodbye and sit real close in Winter
I’ll not wear a mask and not scrub my wrists and you’ll be none the wiser
‘Cause you’ll scandalously cough out loud and skip hand sanitizer.
When this covid thing isn’t a thing, I’ll meet you out for coffee
We’ll share one snack and laugh real loud and grandstand like Gaddafi
We’ll double dip and triple sip and others will not shame us
We’ll take up space and touch our face and no one there will blame us.
When this covid thing isn’t a thing, we’ll get back to our living
We’ll share the air without a care and celebrate the giving
The world will cheer when someone near lets out a sneeze or two
And when this covid thing isn’t a thing, the hug I want is from you.
