lyrics

I sit at work all day
Waiting for my emails
When I go out with my pals
I wished I’da stayed to watch my gmail
Cause you never know,
somebody out there might be
typing up on their keyboard
Giving it one last spelling check,
maybe wondering if you wrote too much
And you wonder if you should go back
and misspell a couple words
so that you don’t look uptight
you wanna look like
a hyper-fast-typer- multi-tasker- thinker-type
that don’t got the time
or the patience or the inclination
or the common fucking decency
to proofread their shit

I just got an email,
I better read it quick
before it goes away
I just got an email,
for the next minute or so,
I’ve got something to do
I just got an email,
but wasn’t from who
I wanted it to be from
I just got an email,
but wasn’t from you

Whoa it’s a cruel world
with trillions and billions of emails,
coming and going,
they’re ebbing and flowing,
sending and receiving
three-or-four kilobites at the speed of
light through a vacuum-tube
hermetically-sealed
database-mainframe-industrial site
but not one of those
is the particular one
I’ve been waiting for tonight

First thing I do when I wake up
Last thing I do before I brush my teeth
First thing I do when I’m thinking of you
Last thing I’ll do before I die

I’m waiting on an email
I’m checking on an email
I’m keep on clicking my refresh button
But my inbox keeps on giving me nothing

Waiting and checking…

Boo Reefa Atlanta, Georgia

Boo Reefa is an Atlanta-based indie-rock-folk act comprised of brother and sister Andrew and Laura Leidner and their two pals Andrew Hale on lead-guitar and Julian Morena on drums. Their infectious songs are equal parts avant-garde comedy and heart-felt human tragedy.


Every band's musical journey starts with each band member drinking a quart of paint, and we are no exception.
