I’m Your Virus

You probably
Don't remember me
You were at the local diner
Alone on New Year's Eve.

Well I was the cook,
Made sure your order came through 
But there's something about your food
I bet you never knew—

I had a cold that day
And when I saw your face
I made sure to cough on your food
Before it was carried out to you.

So now you know
And now I'll go
On to tell you a little bit more
Of my side of the story.

Cuz when you ate the food,
You swallowed me too—
Now I'm the germ
Inside of you.

I'm your virus, your very own virus
And you can't kick me out cuz I'm
Permanent, relentless.
No antibiotic or surgery
Will ever purge your system of me.

So give it up, now you're sick
With the best kind of disease
I'm irregular and foreign
Like you never would believe

And strangely everyone's immune—
Everyone but you
I'm your virus, and nothing's gonna keep me
Away—the infection has begun 

And it has already spread
Your white blood cells are no match
For my game, hey
Just give it up and live with it

Cuz you don't have a choice.
You're my host
I'm your virus—
A body-snatching pirate.

I've only polluted your
Bloodstream
But your house is clean

You'll be okay, just know
That I'm your virus
And I can't leave,
I'm here to stay.
