Said I'd understand when I'm older
Said I'd understand the things they'd do
Falls asleep on his shoulder in the break room
She falls asleep on his shoulder in the break room
She said she'd been inside for too long
Well no shit, could you tell us something new
You can tell he's lying cause his lips move
You can tell he's lying cause his lips move
It must be nice to be the reason
His work, it ain't so bleak
That must be what motivates you
That must be what motivates you
All he needs is to see you smiling
While you light up his whole week
Imagine thе kinda things he'd do to you
If there wеren't so many cameras
You're keeping a dark secret
But you're talking in your sleep
Totally banned from the kitchen
You're such a workplace health concern
But they wouldn't take you if it healed you
No they wouldn't take you if it healed you
She said the country's sweating out a fever
A fever born by what you do
And what kind of pressure do they put on you
What kind of pressure do they put on you
At least she's waiting for you
Glass of wine after a long day
She'll dry your eyes and serve the entrée
Dry your eyes and serve the entrée
Fall asleep in her dad's Ford Monteo
That she stole from him yesterday
You look so cute when you're so angry
If I'm going down you're coming with me
And if you think that it gets better
Just you wait until next week
You're keeping a dark secret
But you're talking in your sleep
