I Wish I Had the Strength to Put on Real Clothes. Lyrics by Joe Barbarulo

Listen While You Panic.

2020

[Verse]
I was thinking ‘bout how
You must be sitting on the couch
I was waiting for the world to calm down
I think about you every minute
Every hour
How I want to figure it out
I wish that I could state a line
And try to make up some time
But I’ve lost it somehow
So instead I stay quiet
In the depths of my mind
When I close up my doubts
[Chorus]
I don’t do anything worth noting about
But simplicity and pouring my heart out is what I allow
I would never be able to tell you what I’m thinking about
But if I could get up, maybe I’ll pick up the pieces I’ve drowned
[Verse]
Initiating conversation
‘Bout the thought of relations
Leaves me moping around
If I could strike a match
And hold my heart in a basket
I’d give it to you right now
If I still love you the same
I’m never playing a game
I’d try and sing another verse out loud
No matter how hard I try
Or what I’m keeping inside
I don’t think I’d ever make you proud
[Chorus]
I don’t do anything worth noting about
But simplicity and pouring my heart out is what I allow
I would never be able to tell you what I’m thinking about
But if I could get up, maybe I’ll pick up the pieces I’ve drowned
