lyrics

I’ve got a whole lot of time on my hands

There’s nothing like an afternoon on the countryside
But I wouldn’t know because it’s not safe for me to drive
I’m stress-eating, completing puzzles, stacking building blocks
That ate up three minutes, now it’s time to tug my
I flip the pages of the calendar up on my wall
The time was flying ‘til it spun into a crawl
I used to clamor over the American dream
First and last on my list, now I’ll take any dream
As long as I don’t wake up to more of this

I’m going stir crazy

I’m not the biggest fan of going to the grocery store
Even that beats staying in and making up a list of chores
But I’d be insane to hop a train or hitch a ride
There’s no way in whatever hell we’re in
That you would even catch me outside
I pet my dog, then I circle back and pet my dog again
Between making calls and figuring out how I might pay my rent
‘Cause suddenly everybody’s got a license to ill
But I mean actually ill, so I guess I’d better chill, huh?

I’ve got a whole lot of time to put together music
I’ve got this mic and this computer, I should prob’ly use it
I’ll write more songs, make more albums than I’ll ever need
Slapping the bass and playing guitar until my fingers bleed
Maybe all this isn’t a curse
Maybe it’s all some kind of blessing
Maybe I should write instead of stressing, overly obsessing
Guessing if my actions are the ones to be forbidden
I can conquer this mountain
No, I’m totally kidding, because
