Written in just that 'is the pandemic over or not' moment when so many of us are poking our heads gingerly out the window, wondering 'is it safe yet? Played on an old tenor banjo that might be nearly as old as the pandemic 100 years ago.
lyrics
We’re sitting here in the crossroads
That limbo that lies between
Back there was fear and boredom
Back there was quarantine
Ahead may lie back to normal
But are we moving there way too fast
Another change in the DNA
And the die might be already cast
I don’t think I know the right answers
The truth is, no one can say
I’ve been good for so long already
Seems a shame to throw it away
But we can’t live this way forever
Collateral damage piling up
Still I can’t say I’m hurting all the time
I’m looking at a half full cup
So I’ll take a few baby steps
To bring back that normal feeling
And hope it doesn’t all crash back down
Is that a crack I see in the ceiling?
