Free Time Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh, yeah

[Verse 1]
My eyes are shut, sleep too much
Probably should get up, but what's the rush?
Brush my teeth, but not my hair
I used to for you, but now, I don’t care

[Pre-Chorus]
Watching the clock from the sofa
I just wish you would come over

[Chorus]
All of my friends said, "Don't worry
I promise you'll be fine" (Be fine)
But now I’m alone and I'm lost in my phone
With this free time (Free time)
I used to spend it with you
All of the stupid shit we used to do
Now that you're tied up
I'm tired of all of this free time (Oh)

[Verse 2]
I could make some toast, I could watch a show
I could go for a walk, but I probably won't
I could do anything I put my mind to if I tried to, but I'm
[Pre-Chrous]
Just watching the clock from the sofa (Oh)
Oh, I just wish you would come over

[Chorus]
All of my friends said, "Don't worry
I promise you'll be fine" (Be fine)
Now I’m alone and I’m lost in my phone
With this free time (Free time)
I used to spend it with you
All of the stupid shit we used to do
Now that you're tied up
I’m tired of all of this

[Bridge]
Freedom
Thought it was all that I needed
Said I'd be cool with you leaving
Baby, I was wrong
Crazy since you're gone

[Chorus]
All of my friends said, "Don't worry
I promise you’ll be fine," oh (Be fine)
Now I'm alone and I'm lost in my phone
With this free time, oh (Free time)
I used to spend it with you
All of the stupid shit we used to do
Now that you're tied up
I'm tired of all of this free time, oh
I'm tired of all of this free time, hey
[Outro]
Um, hey
Ah, it's me
I wanted to call you just to see how you've been
If you're, um, if you're good
Ah, I saw your mum yesterday at the, er, supermarket
Which was, uh, which was funny
Um, yeah, just wanted to see if you were doin' alright
I'd love to catch up if you're free, um
So yeah, I would love to talk about everything if you can
See ya

What did Ruel say about "Free Time"?
Genius Answer

In an interview for Coup De Main, Ruel explained:

I wrote (Free Time) when I had a lot of time off in between writing sessions in L.A. and I was just extremely bored. I didn’t really know anyone there so I didn’t have much to do at all. I found myself just sitting in this Airbnb with my phone just moping around the house. I wrote the song the next day all about getting caught up in your thoughts in your free time
