  • Hmm-mm

    Wake up and smell the coffee
    Is your cup half full or empty?
    When we talk, you say it softly
    But I love it when you're awfully quiet
    Hmm-mm, quiet
    Hmm-mm

    You see a piece of paper
    Could be a little greater
    Show me what you could make her
    You'll never know until you try it
    Hmm-mm
    And you don't have to keep it quiet

    And I know it makes you nervous
    But I promise you, it's worth it
    To show 'em everything you kept inside
    Don't hide, don't hide
    Too shy to say, but I hope you stay
    Don't hide away
    Come out and play

    Look up, out of your window
    See snow, won't let it in though
    Leave home, feel the wind blow
    'Cause it's colder here inside in silence
    And you don't have to keep it quiet

    Yeah, I know it makes you nervous
    But I promise you, it's worth it
    To show 'em everything you kept inside
    Don't hide, don't hide
    Too shy to say but I hope you stay
    Don't hide away

  • Piper from San FranciscoI have been locked inside for 18 months for covid and this song speaks to my struggles to break free, come out and play, with powerful lyrics like " wash the mold off your parts, lock yourself in a room with warm farts" this is the most uplifting words a youth can hear in this world, the odors the emanate from unwashed laundry define the commercials for tide pods
