[Verse 1]
Cardboard box of name tags
Lanyards on a broken hook
Coffee cups from old break rooms
I don’t even wanna look
Smiles that felt like costumes
Chairs that never fit my spine
Clocking in and counting down
To when I’d get back my time
[Pre-Chorus]
Every “welcome to the team”
Faded in a week or two
Always shrinking who I am
To what they wanted me to do
[Chorus]
But this one
This one
Finally feels like mine
Like my heartbeat
Lined up with the time
I don’t dread the morning
I don’t fake the grin
Feels like all those wrong doors
Led me here to walk in
This one
This one
Finally feels like mine
[Verse 2]
Used to read the job posts
Like maybe I should just pretend
Dress up in another role
Till the money pays for rent
“Great fit
Just not right now”
Was the sentence in my head
Till I walked in here and heard
“Stay exactly how you are instead”
[Pre-Chorus]
Now my questions get to count
They don’t ask me to be small
I can breathe between the tasks
I’m not scared to drop the ball
[Chorus]
’Cause this one
This one
Finally feels like mine
Like my stories
Actually align
I don’t watch the window
Dreaming of escape
All the broken puzzle pieces
Found their proper place
This one
This one
Finally feels like mine
[Bridge]
All those wrong turns
Wrong words
Wrong desks
Every quiet “I should quit”
Under shallow breaths
Laid a map I couldn’t see
Still it brought me to this door
Now my name’s on something real
And I don’t wanna leave at four (no more)
[Chorus]
This one
This one
Finally feels like mine
Like my own name
Signed on my time
I walk in on Monday
Light in my eyes
Every past misfit day
Was the reason for this high
This one
This one
Finally feels like mine
(yeah, this one, this one)
Finally feels like mine
