Downtime - Val Emmich, The Good Names Are Taken

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
