Bored

Wishing I was bored so maybe I’d force myself to go do something creative and not later regret that the day was wasted. I remember being bored sometimes as a kid. Man, there are times that I wish I was bored. There are always too many things that I WANT or HAVE to do.

Lyrics

Bored

I wish I was bored.
So I could find something to do.
But I’m not bored.
I’m happy here with nothing to do.

I wish I was bored.
So I’d find something to do.
Like paint a picture.
Or go to the zoo.
Or write a song like this one,
to stick in your head like glue*.

I wish I was bored.
So I’d find something to do.
But I’m not bored.
There’s way too much to do.
Like paint a picture.
Or I could go to the zoo.
I could write a song like this one,
so it’ll stick in your head like glue*.

I wish I was bored.
So I could find something to do.
Tomorrow I’ll wish I was bored today.
So I woulda found something to do.
Instead of sitting here,
Happy with nothing to do.

* I know that there is nothing cheesier than the “stick like glue” bit. There are lots of songs with similar “glue” lines and I cringe every time that I hear them.
