Social Distance from Social Distance by Adeyemo
"Social Distance" was written in the midst of the toxic atmosphere of the coronavirus crisis. It's about how love can be a sickness. How people can be poisonous. How falling in love can be as unwitting and unwanted as catching a virus. How sometimes the safest thing you can do is keep a social distance from someone, even if you miss them, even if you still love them.

Lyrics
Breathing too near you is dangerous
New to you her heart beat multiplies
She'll catch a crush
You catch her eye
She catches her breath
Her throat goes so dry
She's flush like a rash
Choking and tongue tied
Sick to her stomach
You stab your reply
See her hope all crushed
I need to keep a social distance from you
I ought to keep a social distance from you
Breathing too near you is dangerous
Catch on as my heart beat multiplies
I catch a crush
You catch my eye
I catch my breath
My throat goes so dry
I flush like a rash
Choking and tongue tied
Sick to my stomach
You stab your reply
See my hope all crushed
I need to keep a social distance from you
I ought to keep a social distance from you
Months and months and months since me and you
Miles and miles and miles separate me and you
Forever separating me from you
Forgetting and regretting me aren't you
But you're still breathtaking to me
I'm still infected
I can't get over it
I crushed
I'm crushed
