Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The alarm jumps in my ear like a dare

I tie my hair back in a rushed little prayer

Coffee on the counter, keys in my hand

I’m running on fumes in a one-woman band

Inbox yelling like it owns my name

Same four walls and a deadline game

I smile at the boss, I nod and I grin

But my eyelids feel like they’re giving in

[Pre-Chorus]

I got a clock, I got a list

I got a life I’m trying to fit

Between the laundry and the rent

Somewhere else is where I went

[Chorus]

Clock out, baby, let me breathe

I need a little room to be me

Clock out, baby, hear me say

I’m not made for work all day

Clock out, baby, break that chain

I wanna laugh in the pouring rain

Clock out, baby, one, two, three

Save a little life for me

[Verse 2]

Dishes in the sink like a tiny white wave

I stare at the pile like a hardworking cave

Sweeper in the corner, socks on the floor

I swear I just cleaned this mess before

Friends text “come out” and I want to go

But the laundry basket says “no, no, no”

I look in the mirror, hair in a twist

Adulting is a bully with a clenched-up fist

[Pre-Chorus]

I got a mop, I got a bill

I got a heart that’s standing still

But if I keep this hamster pace

I’m gonna miss my own sweet face

[Chorus]

Clock out, baby, let me breathe

I need a little room to be me

Clock out, baby, hear me say

I’m not made for work all day

Clock out, baby, break that chain

I wanna laugh in the pouring rain

Clock out, baby, one, two, three

Save a little life for me

[Bridge]

I don’t need gold, I don’t need more

I need a song and an open door

A dance, a joke, a little time

A soda pop and a crooked rhyme

So take this tie and toss it high

I’m gonna let my weekend fly

For one bright night, I’m young again

No more shoulds, just now, amen

[Chorus]

Clock out, baby, let me breathe

I need a little room to be me

Clock out, baby, hear me say

I’m not made for work all day

Clock out, baby, break that chain

I wanna laugh in the pouring rain

Clock out, baby, one, two, three

Save a little life for me

[Outro]

Clock out, baby

Let me breathe

Clock out, baby

Set me free
