For Downtime, plan a breath within the longest line, which is about 15 words. Use the original recording of Downtime to mark exactly where that change happens.
Should you sing it?
With Downtime, do not count on the room to do the work; it is better for a singer ready to own the lyric’s point of view. The song has more changing verse text than repeated hook material and room to shape the lines without cramming them. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
