Timothy B. Schmit - Downtime lyrics

Schmit I can't jump 'cause I'm feeling heavy I can't take this gravity I can't dance 'cause there ain't no music And these shoes are k**ing me I can't float if there ain't no water I can't breathe if there ain't no air I can't leave 'cause there ain't no window And it's way too cold out there I don't like to find myself staring into space I think I better stay up all night Or I might disappear without a single trace I don't stop 'cause I keep on rolling Though I can't always see I can't hide 'cause the truth is showing And it's got the best of me Every now and then I gotta shut down So I sit on my front porch Take it easy for a minute and slow my mind Then I get up, I jump into my car And head down to the ocean It doesn't matter if it's rain or shine I just need a little downtime I can't wait if I have no patience I can't hear if there ain't no sound I can't think 'cause my head's too crowded I think I better get out of town I feel the beat of my heart going way too fast If I don't put my foot down soon I don't know how I'm gonna make things last

I don't break when my heart is aching I can't sing if there ain't no song I gotta rethink my situation I do believe that something's wrong Every now and then I gotta shut down So I sit on my front porch Take it easy for a minute and slow my mind Then I get up, I jump into my car And head down to the ocean It doesn't matter if it's rain or shine I just need a little downtime I don't like to find myself staring into space, no I think I better stay up all night Or I might disappear without a single trace I can't climb if there ain't no ladder I can't deal if there ain't no cards I won't sigh 'cause it makes me sadder I've had enough and it's way too hard Every now and then I gotta shut down So I sit on my front porch Take it easy for a minute and slow my mind, yeah Then I get up, I jump into my car And head down to the ocean It doesn't matter if it's rain or shine Step in the water and I feel just fine Don't need to smoke, I don't need no wine I only need a little downtime Downtime Downtime
