Earl Grey Tea

(album: One Foot In Front Of The Other - 2021)

You're so scared you're aging faster
So you drink Earl Grey tea 'cause you heard that's the answer
And you're so scared of dying slowly
But why aren't you as scared of dying lonely?

'Cause I'm slipping away by the second
So aren't you gonna save me too?
And before you make it to Heaven
How you gonna save me and you?
And you're so concerned about everybody
You get up, go to work, and earn more money
So that when you go, you got something to show for it, yeah
Well, you'll have everything, but no one to hold on to
Because I'm slipping away by the second
So aren't you gonna save me too?
And before you make it to Heaven
How you gonna save me and you?
Yeah, you're so scared of getting cancer
(Aren't you gonna save me too?)
So you drink Earl Grey tea 'cause you heard that's the answer
(How you gonna save me and you?)
And you're so scared of dying slowly
(Aren't you gonna save me too?)
But why aren't you as scared of dying lonely?
(How you gonna save me and you?)

Oh, and if we haven't taken our last dying breath
(Aren't you gonna save me too?)
Then I'm here and I'm waiting to save anything that's left
Oh, so don't give up just yet
(How you gonna save me and you?)
Oh, how can you just start counting down from ten
Oh, without me? I'm waiting to start this all over again
(Aren't you gonna save me too?)
Oh-oh, you can't give up just yet

Yeah, you said you're scared of getting cancer
So you drink Earl Grey tea 'cause you heard that's the answer
