Night Shift In My Head

Ash in the tray

Phone face down

Ceiling fan hum

Same old sound

Got a text from you

Didn’t even read it all

Saw your name on the screen

Felt my heartbeat stall

Half-packed bags

In the corner of the room

Been sayin’ I’ll leave

Since last June (yeah)

Take-out boxes

On the coffee table

You said love’s a movie

I just feel the cable

Tangled in my thoughts

Talkin’ to the wall

You sleep on my chest

I don’t sleep at all

Night shift in my head, I don’t clock out

Workin’ overtime on every doubt

You pour red wine, I pour my stress

You undress slow, I stay dressed in regrets

Night shift in my head, can’t turn it off

You say “just feel,” I’m stuck on the cost

If lovin’ you’s a drug I can’t quit yet

Guess I’m punchin’ in

For another sunset (yeah, yeah)

Your playlist loopin’

Same three songs

You hum off-key

But you still sing along

You dance in the kitchen

Wearin’ my old tee

Say “this could be heaven”

I’m like “we gon’ see”

Bills on the fridge

With the magnets crooked

Every little fight

Got a place I can’t look at

You kiss my neck

Like a truce you won

Then ask, “Baby

Tell me are we done?” (are we?)

Night shift in my head, I don’t clock out

Workin’ overtime on every doubt

You pour red wine, I pour my stress

You undress slow, I stay dressed in regrets

Night shift in my head, can’t turn it off

You say “just feel,” I’m stuck on the cost

If lovin’ you’s a drug I can’t quit yet

Guess I’m punchin’ in

For another sunset (oh, oh)

Maybe I just love

The way we almost break

Livin’ on the edge

Of every choice we make

If we ever heal

Would we feel this deep?

Would we even know

If it’s safe to sleep? (yeah)

Night shift in my head, I don’t clock out

Workin’ overtime on every doubt

You pour red wine, I pour my stress

You undress slow, I stay dressed in regrets

Night shift in my head, can’t turn it off

You say “just feel,” I’m stuck on the cost

If lovin’ you’s a drug I can’t quit yet

Guess I’m punchin’ in

For another sunset
