[Intro]
Yeah, Paige, curtains closed, day shift on pause
Carbonara diplomacy, everybody knows the laws
[Verse 1]
Paige wakes up when the afternoon is halfway gone
Phone on one percent, still scrolling till the battery’s drawn
Alarm clock filed away beneath a blanket mountain range
Job listings get opened, then the screen says, “Maybe change”
She says, “I’m finding myself,” from the center of the bed
While the laundry forms a kingdom by the pillow near her head
No résumé, no rota, no interview in sight
Just a snack beside the charger and a horror film at night
[Chorus]
Paige in bed, Paige in bed, whole day on delay
Won’t clock in, won’t punch out, won’t be moved today
Carbonara on the table when she makes it through the door
Bad mood loaded, fork held steady, asking for some more
Paige in bed, Paige in bed, let the credits roll
Scares on screen, cream on pasta, that’s the daily goal
[Verse 2]
She walks home with a storm cloud folded underneath her coat
Says the world was too annoying, gives the hallway one cold look
“Where’s my dinner?” like a queen returning from the war
Meanwhile, cheese is grated, sauce is simmering by the stove
Bacon bits arranged like tiny trophies in a bowl
She inspects the glossy noodles with a critic’s careful soul
One clump? That’s a crisis. Too dry? The evening’s done
Then a masked man hits the window and she finally starts to run
[Chorus]
Paige in bed, Paige in bed, whole day on delay
Won’t clock in, won’t punch out, won’t be moved today
Carbonara on the table when she makes it through the door
Bad mood loaded, fork held steady, asking for some more
Paige in bed, Paige in bed, let the credits roll
Scares on screen, cream on pasta, that’s the daily goal
[Bridge]
Maybe tomorrow she’ll rise, maybe tomorrow she’ll try
Maybe she’ll send one application before the sun climbs high
But tonight the room is dark, and the menu’s understood
Pasta, panic, pillow fortress—Paige is feeling good
[Verse 3]
She knows every haunted house and every final girl
Can explain the killer’s motive while the dinner plates unfurl
She hates a sequel’s ending, loves a basement door ajar
Says, “Don’t split up,” then disappears beneath the duvet bar
If ambition calls, it gets redirected to voicemail
If responsibility knocks, she pretends the hinges failed
But give her cream and pepper, give her monsters on a screen
And Paige will rule the kingdom of the permanently serene
[Final Chorus]
Paige in bed, Paige in bed, whole day on delay
Won’t clock in, won’t punch out, won’t be moved today
Carbonara on the table when she makes it through the door
Bad mood loaded, fork held steady, asking for some more
Paige in bed, Paige in bed, let the credits roll
Scares on screen, cream on pasta, that’s the daily goal
[Outro]
The job can wait till morning, if morning ever starts
She’s got pasta in the kitchen and a thriller in her heart
