Florescent lights, office doors
Coffee stains spot the floors
And you're half asleep
Stuck in a dream
It's only weekends you feel alive
Stuck in limbo from nine to five
But you're better off
Secure and tough
And you think
It's only a matter of time
Til that happiness is mine
And since when did the things I love to do
Get stuck on the other side?
Don't wanna be another weekday nine to five
I used to imagine what I could be
Writing songs til I felt free from my own head
From what they said
I always thought I'd make it fine
I wouldn't be stuck passing my time in a six by eight
But it's getting late
And it's only a matter of time
Til that happiness is mine
And since when did the things I love to do
Get stuck on the other side?
Don't wanna be another weekday nine to five
I always said
I'd be okay sleeping on a pull-out bed
As long as I love what I do
And I can be right next to you
And I can't describe the way I feel
An office job has no appeal to me
And I know that it's only a matter of time
Til that happiness is mine
And since when did the things I love to do
Get stuck on the other side?
Don't wanna be another weekday nine to five
And it's only a matter of time
Til that happiness is mine
And since when did the things I love to do
Get stuck on the other side?
Don't wanna be another weekday nine to five
