Just a little bit longer
My baby cried, oh God not again, kept apart and quarantined
A lonely tenor performing operatic arias from the Florentine
Screaming at no one in particular, an empty room my audience
Cursing how we’re doomed, while scheming how to circumvent
Through her tears somehow comes a small yet steady voice of reason
Even though we hurt, and we’ve been cheated out of every season
Honey you’ve been there for me, I just need you to be a bit stronger
Everything is going to be like we planned, babe just a little bit longer
My dog he looked at me and said Daddy I believe that Mommy’s right
Walking down a tunnel is scary but if you look you can see the light
The other end is where we can all be together and spend our days
The sun shines bright, it’s warm outside and the music always plays
Through his snout somehow comes a small yet steady voice of reason
Even though you hurt, and you’ve been cheated out of every season
Daddy you’ve been there, mommy just needs you to be a bit stronger
Everything is going to be like you planned daddy, just a little bit longer
What could I say to a Chihuahua in a hoodie, I had to give him his due
He was right, it just takes faith, and I’ve got an endless supply in you
Connected by something we never could put to words or define
From the moment out eyes met I was yours and babe you were mine
Through my tears somehow comes a small yet steady voice of reason
Even though we hurt, and we’ve been cheated out of every season
Honey you’ve been there for me too, I just need to be a bit stronger
Everything is going to be like we planned, babe just a little bit longer
I know it’s hard, but honey I know I can be stronger
Anything babe, even if it takes just a little bit longer
