lyrics: |
  Layin' on your sofa
  I think my phone is dead but I might leave it that way
  I'm no Casanova
  You're the only light that I need every day

  Don't go away
  I'm here to stay
  On holiday
  No plans for the weekend
  Just you and me by the sea and daydreaming

  Nothing on the internet that's shiny and new
  I only wanna spend my time with you
  I could travel 'round the world looking for something to do
  But I only wanna spend my time with you
  Yeah, I only wanna spend my time with you
  Oh, I only wanna spend my time with you
  With you
  With you

  Let's do nothing together
  You can call me whenever
  There's nothing that I'll rather do
  Nothing forever, we could go forever
  Be happier than ever with you

  Nothing in particular
  In particular
  In particular to do

  Nothing on the internet that's shiny and new
  I only wanna spend my time with you
  I could travel 'round the world looking for something to do
  But I only wanna spend my time with you
  Yeah, I only wanna spend my time with you
  Oh, I only wanna spend my time with you
  With you
  With you
  With you
  With you

Track two on [*I*](/albums/i/), out ahead of the LP as a single. [Nagamag](https://www.nagamag.com/the-latest/scoobert-doobert-time-with-u-pop-music-review) heard catchy, harmonic bedroom/lo-fi pop.

The opener names the bit: *I think my phone is dead but I might leave it that way*. The chorus completes the thought, and it isn't "I miss you" or "I want you," it's *nothing on the internet that's shiny and new*. On a travel record full of Shinkansen and PCH, this is the song that picks the sofa, stacking *nothing in particular* until nothing sounds like a destination.

Also on [Catalog](/catalog/) as 2024 single.
