Lyrics

DOWNTIME

Who knew a break from you could be so hard
I got a room down on the boulevard
Still in exile for some poisoned words
And a lesson to learn

There’s a pool out by the limbo tree
But my seat-for-one’s a novelty
Got some cool shades and my game face on
Though I still feel the burn

‘cause you gave me more
More than I deserve
When this ends, I don’t know
Still marking time
Points along the curve
Such a long way to go

You gave me downtime, gave me downtime
More than I needed
You gave me downtime, gave me downtime
More than I needed, baby

You gave me downtime, gave me downtime
More than I needed (you gave me down, downtime)
You gave me downtime, gave me downtime
More than I needed

I tell myself it must be your stubborn ways
That it’s all been just a phase

‘cause you gave me more
More than I deserve
When this ends, I don’t know
Still marking time
Points along the curve
Seems like such a long way to go

You gave me downtime, gave me downtime
More than I needed
You gave me downtime, gave me downtime
More than I needed, baby

You gave me downtime, gave me downtime
More than I needed (you gave me down, downtime)
You gave me downtime, gave me downtime
More than I needed
