Free Time
Ruel Lyrics

Eyes are shut, sleep too much
I've been feeling lethargic and unmotivated.

Probably should get up, but what's the rush?
I know I should start my day, but I don't have anything exciting to do.

Brush my teeth, but not my hair
I don't care about my appearance since you're not here to see me.

I used to for you, but now, I don't care
I used to put in the effort for you, but now that you’re gone, it doesn't matter.

Watching the clock from the sofa
I've been looking at the time go by, sitting on the couch.

I just wish you would come over
I miss you and wish you were here with me.

All of my friends said, "Don't worry
My friends gave me reassurance that everything will be okay.

I promise you'll be fine" (be fine)
They convinced me that I will get through this.

But now I'm alone and I'm lost in my phone
I'm scrolling through social media, feeling lonely and disconnected.

With this free time (free time)
I have nothing to occupy my time with.

I used to spend it with you
I used to spend my free time doing things with you.

All of the stupid shit we used to do
We used to do silly and fun things together.

Now that you're tied up
Now that you’re busy with other things.

I'm tired of all of this free time (oh)
I’m exhausted from not having anything to do.

I could make some toast, I could watch a show
There are things I could do, but nothing seems interesting.

I could go for a walk, but I probably won't
I have even considered going out, but I lack the motivation to do so.

Just watching the clock from the sofa (oh)
I’m just sitting around doing nothing.

Freedom
I thought being single meant freedom and excitement.

Thought it was all that I needed
But now that I'm experiencing it, I'm realizing it's not fulfilling.

Said I'd be cool with you leaving
I thought I would be okay with you going.

Baby, I was wrong
But now that you're gone, I know I don't want to be alone.

Crazy since you're gone
It's been tough since you've left.

Ah, it's me
I'm calling you.

I wanted to call you just to see how you've been
I just want to check in and see how you're doing.

If you're, um, if you're good
If you're okay and happy in your new life.

Ah, I saw your mum yesterday at the, er, supermarket
I bumped into your mum and it made me think of you.

Which was, uh, which was funny
It was a coincidence and it brought back memories.

Yeah, just wanted to see if you were doin' alright
I just want you to know that I care.

I'd love to catch up if you're free, um
I would like to talk to you and maybe reconnect.

So yeah, I would love to talk about everything if you can
I want to have an honest conversation and address any unresolved issues we have.

See ya
Goodbye for now.
