Thanks for Your Time

Traveling this week and wasn’t able to find time to make something. This is a phone recording from just before I left with a song written quickly, so it is what is is and that’s okay. Tried a couple of takes but this is the first one, which is probably better despite some flubs.
If you live in the states, you may have taken one of these Dept. of Health surveys over the phone as I did the day I wrote this. I was struck by the flat, muted tone of the person asking the questions, juxtaposed with the heaviness of some of the topics (drugs, depression, etc). It was a notably impersonal conversation, though they also mention helpful resources regardless of your answers, which I think is great.
Only a couple of these are questions I was asked. I wondered what other questions might be worth asking. When 80% of the lyrics comes from the same repeated phrase, the song mostly writes itself. Also, does anyone else’s brain just want to write verses and nothing else?
