[Verse 1]
Badge in my bag, shoes by the door
Same old train, same old floor
I make it home with my hands still tired
Heat up dinner, stare at the wires
You said "call me," I said "for sure"
Then the room got quiet, and you got a blur
I keep my heart on a short leash now
'Cause I give it away and it breaks somehow
[Pre-Chorus]
I want somebody who stays
Not a spark that fades
One text, then gone
Leaving me mid-song
[Chorus]
I clock out, then I want you
I want you, I want you
But I pick the wrong one
Every damn time
You came close, then I lost you
I lost you, I lost you
Now I’m standing right here
On the edge of mine
[Verse 2]
Lunch break love in a paper cup
Sweet for a minute, then it gives up
You looked at me like you knew my name
Then vanished clean when it got too real
I sent that one little "you okay?"
Watched it sit there all day
Now I laugh like I'm fine alone
But I hate that walk back home
[Pre-Chorus]
I want somebody who stays
Not a spark that fades
If you’re gonna leave
Don’t start with me
[Chorus]
I clock out, then I want you
I want you, I want you
But I pick the wrong one
Every damn time
You came close, then I lost you
I lost you, I lost you
Now I’m standing right here
On the edge of mine
[Bridge]
Maybe I move too fast
Maybe I trust too soon
Maybe I learn the hard way
That lonely can wear perfume
So if you come to stay
Don’t come to disappear
I’m done with almosts
I need real right here
[Final Chorus]
I clock out, then I want you
I want you, I want you
But I pick the wrong one
Every damn time
You came close, then I lost you
I lost you, I lost you
Now I’m standing right here
On the edge of mine
