Downtime

left a note on the table
thrown away with the junk mail
started up a brand new hobby
quit because of competition
meant to go to California
I don’t want to miss the party
cut my hair in the mirror
nothing’s different
nothing’s different
dreaming of a better life
too much downtime
downtime
dwelling on what isn’t right
all this downtime
downtime
pretty things make me jealous
wish someone would paint my portrait
available for children’s parties
friends are working, always working
America is dumb and broke
I’m the only one without a gun
dive into the open water
swim with dolphins
swim with dolphins
dreaming of a better life
too much downtime
downtime
dwelling on what isn’t right
all this downtime
downtime
I spend hours and hours
and days and days
so much to do
but nothing at stake
and my hear just breaks
I spend hours and hours
and days and days
I’m living in a daze
so much to do
but nothing at stake
and my heart just breaks
