lyrics

I wish I had the time to think
About the things I'm doing before I do them
So many things to do at once
That cannot wait, and only I can do them
A full inbox, a messy house
A hyper kid, a tired spouse
A pushy boss, a worried friend
I'm multitasking without end
But what I wouldn't give to have a breather
But no, I don't mean sleep
But I don't get that either
In a calm and quiet place
Where I can try to write a song
With a notebook and a guitar
I really wouldn't need that long

I wish I didn't feel like a
Computer with too many programs running
And a hard drive that's about to crash
But instead of shutting down, I keep restarting
So I punch the clock and cut the checks
I answer emails and send my texts
I change the diapers and do my chores
I kiss my wife and I lust for more
But what I wouldn't give to chill at home
With a closed laptop and a completely shut-off phone
With my feet up on the couch
And my wife sitting on my lap
And our kid within arm's reach
Taking a long and peaceful nap
