lyrics

Friend A: Hello, do you have some time for a phone call while I drive?
Friend B: I do, it’s nice to hear your voice I haven’t seen you in so long
Friend A: I know, it’s nice to hear yours too, how have you been holding up?
Friend B: Okay, this is all so weird, I can’t believe what’s going on

Like every day, the calls go the same way

Friend A: Agreed, I didn’t ever think this would happen in our lifetime
Friend B: So true, of all the bad things this never crossed my mind
Friend A: That word, pandemic, I can barely even say it out loud
Friend B: Same here, I don’t want to, it feels like giving in

Like every day, the calls go the same way

Friend A: Oh man and have you seen everyone out there wearing masks?
Friend B: I have, it’s so freaky and you can’t tell who anyone is
Friend A: So true, plus it doesn’t help that my glasses keep fogging up
Friend B: That’s real, but did I tell you I found a fabric to make my own mask?

Like every day, the calls go the same way

Friend A: You did and I saw you're baking bread from your post on Instagram
Friend B: I am, it’s been really fun to have time to learn something new
Friend A: So cool, I feel that way about having time with my family
Friend B: Yes that, and nature walks remind me I've so much to be grateful for

Like every day, the calls go the same way

Friend A: That said, it’s hard to have all of our lives put on hold for a while
Friend B: Agreed and especially when we’re in our twenties
Friend A: I feel bad thinking about myself when so many have died
Friend B: Me too, and it’s hard to comprehend that many people without all their names

Like every day, the calls go the same way

Friend A: I wish I could give you a hug, I miss you so much
Friend B: But same, I don’t know how much longer I can do all of this
Friend A: You know, it’ll be exciting when we get to hang out again
Friend B: Really, I think that we should have a girls night out on the town then

Like every day, the calls go the same way

Friend A: Okay, I am almost home, I should probably get going
Friend B: That’s cool, I should probably too, I haven’t had dinner yet
Friend A: Did you realize that we’ve been talking for over an hour?
Friend B: No way, that’s funny, it really didn’t feel like that long

Like every day, the calls go the same way

Friend A: Thank you so much for this phone call, I really needed it
Friend B: Me too, I’m lucky you’re my friend we’ll get through this together
Friend A: We will, let’s do this again no surprise that I’m around all next week
Friend B: Yes please, and before then feel free to text me anytime

Cause every day, the calls go the same way
Cause every day what more could we say?
