The Correspondents
Freedoms
How many years have you lived in a place you can't call home
How many days have I wiled away with my two thumbs tapping in front of a phone
How much time have I lost you in powders and booze
How many minutes in a day have you been nothing and not ringing [?] before you're willing to choose

You sit for less than a minute and boredom strikes
Years of our lives wasted counting likes
Read, watch, write, buy, click, tap, post, and swipe

You've got your freedoms
And I've got mine
Let's find new ways to
Waste our time

Important business
Do I get them in the blue or the black?
Do I need this?
I could make do, but I want something new
Rate my smile and my new shoes
Whether I keep them in my collection depends upon your views

You sit for less than a minute and boredom strikes
Years of our lives wasted counting likes
Read, watch, write, buy, click, tap, post, and swipe

You've got your freedoms
And I've got mine
Let's find new ways to
Waste our time
From my sofa, I shout (my sofa, I shout)
From my sofa, I shout (my sofa, I shout)
From my sofa, I shout (my sofa, I shout)
From my sofa, I shout

From my sofa, I shout
Someone else on a sofa shouts the same shout back
Windows become mirrors, your views reflect and ricochet but the mirrors don't crack

Many, many owls, no doubt
Fixating on all the things that I lack
Locked in a room where you think about the things that you said that you can never take back

You sit for less than a minute and boredom strikes
Years of our lives wasted counting likes
Read, watch, write, buy, click, tap, post, and swipe

You've got your freedoms
And I've got mine
Let's find new ways to
Waste our time

You've got your freedoms
And I've got mine
Let's find new ways to
Waste our time
