Im Not Happy Im Just Busy
Navigating Loneliness: Matt Decaro's Candid Reflection on Busyness and Friendship
Lyrics
I’m not happy I’m just busy when I get lonely I call up Breen""eeyyyyy""
I prioritize being busy over seeking happiness; I call Breen when lonely.
Walk 2 miles to his apartment
I walk two miles to Breen's apartment.
Make him complain with me
I engage Breen in conversation, possibly to share complaints.
I’m not happy I’m just busy when I get lonely I call up Kevin""hey bud""
I call Kevin when lonely; walking four miles to his apartment.
Walk 4 miles to his apartment
I undertake a considerable effort to spend time with Kevin.
Make him eat tacos with me
We share a meal of tacos together.
I’m not happy I’m just busy when I get lonely I call up Alex""Yo dood""
I call Alex when lonely, involving activities like laundry and heavy drinking.
Will do our laundry and get really fucking drunk in between
Alex and I engage in mundane tasks and intense drinking during loneliness.
I’m not happy I’m just busy when I get lonely I remember
During loneliness, I reflect on having friends who are either great liars or genuinely like me.
That I got friends that are really great liars or really like me
