[Verse 1] The call goes out from the front deck, “What’s going on today?” I’ve never felt quite like this before, Just watching hours tick away. Any other time there’d be action, I’d be working through the day, But lethargy has taken hold, And motivation’s packed away. [Chorus] I’m bored - no way, I tell myself, You’ve never been this way. Boredom’s for the children Who’ve got nothing left to play. I’ve got hobbies, I’ve got projects, I’ve got plenty I could do, So how on earth can I be bored When there’s a thousand things to do? [Verse 2] There’s fabric in the cupboard, There’s timber waiting too, There’s half a dozen little plans I’ve been meaning to get through. There are things I could be sewing, Things I could create, But somehow my get-up-and-go Has gone and shut the gate. [Chorus] I’m bored - no way, I tell myself, You’ve never been this way. Boredom’s for the children Who’ve got nothing left to play. I’ve got hobbies, I’ve got projects, I’ve got plenty I could do, So how on earth can I be bored When there’s a thousand things to do? [Bridge] Maybe it’s not boredom, Maybe I just need a rest. Maybe sitting doing nothing Is sometimes for the best. The sky is grey, the deck is quiet, There’s nowhere I need to go... Maybe today I’m not doing - I’m just letting myself slow. [Final Chorus] I’m bored - well, maybe not, Perhaps I’ve got it wrong. Maybe rest is something I’ve been missing all along. Tomorrow I’ll be up again With more than I can do... But today I’ll watch the clouds roll by And let the quiet through.
