[Verse 1]
Even the optimist in me is feeling half empty
And half-full with doubts and regrets
Obviously, it's no secret
I'm a hermit washing up and my shell is turning to dust
And I'm tunneling myself deeper in it

[Chorus]
Tell me something good, I wanna smile one more time
Tell me I'll be safe from the virus in my mind

[Verse 2]
Putting one foot in front of the other
Doesn't amount to much
When you're struggling to tread water
All these baby steps, they lead me
Back to square one out of breath
But I've still got a marathon to finish

[Chorus]
Tell me something good, I wanna smile one more time
Tell me I'll be safe from the virus in my mind

[Bridge]
Tell me I'll be safe from the things I don't know
Keep me from the places you know I can't go
Feel the earth that crumbles between my own hands
Save me from the things that I cannot understand
Save me from the things that I cannot understand
[Chorus]
Tell me something good, I wanna smile one more time
Tell me I'll be safe from the virus in my mind
