  • Free Time

    What am I doing with that look on my face?
    That pained expression that’s so hard to erase.
    What am I doing with this armful of feelings?
    Trying to put them down and decipher the meanings.
    What am I doing with this life all a-jumble?
    Watching it rumbling past with a grumble.

    I don’t want to progress, I just want to move backwards –
    There’s no meaning in PPC and AdWords.
    My soul is attached to a man with a guitar
    who pours out his feelings, leaves my mouth ajar
    because he’s plucked my thoughts right out of my brain
    and now I don’t think, just hear his soaring refrain.

    Most of the time we have is spoken for
    I want to recycle old hours, relive them once more
    and contemplate the minutes that make up my days,
    rewind to my younger, more naïve ways,
    go back to being like a carefree pup
    and be granted permission to stop growing up.

    But that just can’t happen, so what do I do?
    Make the most of my free time when I’m with you,
    daydream about leaving the old nine-to-five
    and just make the most of being here and alive.
