Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Alarm on mute

Sun through the blinds

I’m good

Coffee in a chipped old cup

Laptop glow

Beat turned up

Friends say “one day you’ll grow”

Suit and tie

Same gray road

I just smile

Hit save on the track

Whole wide world in this little sound pack

[Pre-Chorus]

Clock on the wall keeps begging me back

But my heart keeps time with a kick and a clap

I tried that desk

It just caged my mind

I’m late for my life if I stay in that line

[Chorus]

I’m off the clock

I’m on the record

Turn that dream up loud

Let it echo (oh-oh)

I won’t trade my songs for a name tag life

I’ma make this noise till it feels just right

Off the clock

On the record

Every “wrong turn” writing my credo

“9 to 5 forever” never fit my size

I was born to make this music

Not just get by

[Verse 2]

Lunch break

Scrolling job posts

All those words

But they feel like ghosts

“Benefits

Bonuses

Solid career”

But the booth feels better than a cornered veneer

Mom’s voice

“baby

Just be safe”

Rent due

Numbers on the page

Still

Every time that chorus hits

I remember why I’m taking this risk

[Pre-Chorus]

Clock on the wall keeps begging me back

But my heart keeps time with a kick and a clap

I tried that desk

It just caged my mind

I’m late for my life if I stay in that line

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

[low vocal register]

Yeah

I’ve heard it all before

“Art won’t pay

That’s what weekends for”

But I can’t squeeze a big bright sky

Into two short days

Then say goodbye

[crescendo]

So here’s to the ones who stay up late

Turning all that doubt into something great

Hands on the keys

Feet on the floor

Every little song keeps opening doors (hey!)

[Chorus]

Style

sunny pop-rap with bounce: bright acoustic guitar over a warmmidtempo grooverounded bassand crisp claps. verses half-rappedhalf-sung in a playful cadence; chorus explodes into stacked gang vocals and wordless hooks. occasional synth pads and tambourine lift the pre-chorusfinal hook adds call-and-response ad-libs for a stadium-singalong feel.
