about

Lyrics: Matt LaBarber

Busy, doing nothing I'm so busy
Couldn't tell you what I've been doing
But my time's been laid to ruin
Spent a lot of time online, telling all my friends I'm fine, just busy

Home, when I'm not working I'm on my phone
Before you know, an hour's gone by
Don't you know how time can fly
Caught up on all my friends' lives,
But don't respond to their invites I'm busy

Workin, How's your work been, good but busy
I'd really like some family time
But when my girl gets home she's tired
She's been working nine to five
The story of most all our lives we're busy

Let me text a picture to you
Of someone doing something I wanna do
Let me post an image that shows
All the places that I'm gonna go when I am free

No more, can't waste no more time being busy
Get out and live my life
See my friends, laugh and cry
Because I know when I die
Don't want them to say "he was Busy"
