Ruel's poignant track delves into the emotional aftermath of a breakup, capturing the sense of aimlessness and longing that follows. The protagonist finds himself with an abundance of free time previously spent with a significant other, now filled with mundane activities and empty moments. Despite friends' reassurances that he'll be fine, he's engulfed in loneliness and nostalgia, unable to find solace in freedom. The song explores themes of regret and realization as he acknowledges that he underestimated the impact of the separation. Ultimately, it highlights the struggle to move on and the yearning for reconnection, encapsulated by a heartfelt voicemail at the end.
Free Time
Lyrics
Oh, yeah
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
Watching the clock from the sofa
I just wish you would come over
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)
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
Just watching the clock from the sofa (oh)
Oh, I just wish you would come over
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
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
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
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
