Besties in the Covid Time

Intro

We met on frozen frames, a laughing face on delay

Two coffee mugs, two pajama days, hello and okay

(uh-huh) Yeah, yeah

Verse

You sent a meme at midnight, I replied with a song

We traded secret playlists until the sun came on

Maps of small balconies and recipes gone wrong

Stuck in the same small world but together all along

We learned each other’s little truths, the silly and the real

Video-call confessions, the way we learn to heal

(la-la-la) Na-na

Pre-chorus

When doors were locked and plans fell through

You found the lines I couldn’t move

You put your number in my phone and said, “I’m here for you”

(yeah, I’m here, I’m here)

Chorus

We became friends in the covid time — besties, besties

Laughing through the quiet, holding on when it gets heavy (oh-oh)

We became friends in the covid time — besties, besties

Side by side through screens and slow days, call me anytime (call me, call me)

Besties, besties (yeah), besties, besties (oh-oh)

Verse

Birthday candles from the windows, confetti in the chat

Shared our little victories, and learned to dance with that

You sent me socks with stupid jokes, I drew you something bad

Thumbprint on my loneliness, the warmest kind of glad

We swapped our fears like trading cards, we kept the honest parts

You knew my laugh before the lie, you saw my worn-out heart

(heh, heh) Uh-huh

Pre-chorus

When plans were ghosts and calendars were gray

You made a reason to get up and say

“Let’s make a plan to be ridiculous today”

(let’s, let’s)

Chorus

We became friends in the covid time — besties, besties

Laughing through the quiet, holding on when it gets heavy (oh-oh)

We became friends in the covid time — besties, besties

Side by side through screens and slow days, call me anytime (call me, call me)

Besties, besties (yeah), besties, besties (oh-oh)

Bridge

Remember when the world felt upside down? (down, down)

We built a little kingdom out of sticky notes and crowns

Midnight grocery runs in matching slippers (slippers)

We turned small things into forever letters

I keep your jokes like talismans, I keep your voice in my head

When everything felt shaky, you were steady instead

(steady, steady) Hey-ya

Chorus

We became friends in the covid time — besties, besties

Laughing through the quiet, holding on when it gets heavy (oh-oh)

We became friends in the covid time — besties, besties

Side by side through screens and slow days, call me anytime (call me, call me)

Besties, besties (yeah), besties, besties (oh-oh)

Besties, besties (na-na), besties, besties (na-na)

Outro

Call me anytime, I’ll pick up on the first ring (on the first ring)

We’re the kind of story that keeps on repeating

Besties, besties — yeah, besties, besties (fade)
