Lyrics

Every word, written by AI.

Intro
(Bright, arpeggiated synthesizer riff with punchy drum accents)
(Guitars kick in with a heavy, steady rock groove)
[Verse 1]
Got my coffee turned to ice on the kitchen stand
Got a million little projects that I never planned
Staring at the wallpaper, counting up the threads
Tryna kick the noise right out of my head
Tick-tock ticking on the kitchen wall
Nobody’s ringing on the telephone hall
I’m pacing down the hallway in my Sunday shoes
Just a working-class prophet with the idle blues
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the marquee's flickering, the lights are low
I'm buying tickets to my own solo show!
[Chorus]
Too many hours and nowhere to run
Just another lonely shadow setting in the sun!
Got a head full of steam and a pocket full of sand
Yeah, I’ve got too much time on my hands!
Too much time, too much time on my hands!
[Verse 2]
I build a castle out of playing cards upon the floor
Then I blow it all away and go lock the door
Check the local news just to see what’s bright
Same old drama on the screen tonight
I’m the king of the couch, I’m the lord of the room
Sweeping up the dust with a brand new broom!
[Chorus]
Too many hours and nowhere to run
Just another lonely shadow setting in the sun!
Got a head full of steam and a pocket full of sand
Yeah, I’ve got too much time on my hands!
Too much time, too much time on my hands!
[Guitar & Synth Solo]
(Dual guitar harmony trading off with a fast, swirling synth solo)
[Outro]
Too much time! (Yeah, tick-tock, tick-tock!)
Too much time on my hands!
The grand finale of a one-man band!
(Big theatrical drum fill, final ringing guitar chord with synth echo fade out)

About this track

How this pop song was made.

“Too Many Hours” is an AI-generated Pop song with vocals, 4:19 long. It was created in Octa from one short text description: the lyrics, melody, vocal performance, arrangement and mix were all generated from that idea, then published by @Randy Packard to the Octa community in November 2026.
