Paid Time Off Lyrics

Lyricist: Noah Kahan

{Verse 1}

I Called You, But I'Ve Run Outta Words

So I Stared At The Plastic, Colliding With Dirt

At The Fast Food Sign, Out And Left

I Prepare For The Warfare With The Voice In My Head

And I Found It Strange, How The Letters Were Placed

How The Hiring Sign Seemed To Laugh In My Face

And, If You Were Here, You'D Make A Joke Of It

I'M Alone, Getting Lost In The Scope Of It

'Til I See You Drive In

{Chorus}

And Your Love Is Like An Open Flame

Of A Running Car In A Closed Garage

There'S So Much More To The World Out There

But We Don'T Care Enough To Drive That Far

It'S Been A Damn Near-Perfect Day

Just Getting High At The Outlet Mall

But People Grow Up And Move Away

But You Don'T Care And I Don'T Mind At All

{Post-Chorus}

I Got The Car, You'Ve Got The Bag

A Handwritten Note Left From Mom And Dad

A Police Scanner Bouncing On The Dash

A Cup Of Burnt Coffee And A Check To Cash

I Had The Brains For That City Job

But You Got The Taste Of A County Cop

A Pack Of Cigarettes And A Round Of Golf

Make A Living Working For The Paid Time Off

{Verse 2}

Such Simple Lines, They Drew To Make This Place

In The End, We Choose To Climb And Not Fall Off The Race

{Chorus}

And Our Love Is Like An Open Flame

Of A Running Car In A Closed Garage

There'S So Much More To The World Out There

But We Don'T Care Enough To Drive That Far

It'S Been A Damn Near-Perfect Day

Just Getting High At The Outlet Mall

But People Grow Up And Move Away

But You Don'T Care And I Don'T Mind At All

{Verse 3}

Such Simple Lines, They Drew To Make This Place

In The End, We Choose To Climb And Not Fall Off The Race

{Chorus}

And Our Love Is Like An Open Flame

Of A Running Car In A Closed Garage

There'S So Much More To The World Out There

But We Don'T Care Enough To Drive That Far

It'S Been A Damn Near-Perfect Day

Just Getting High At The Outlet Mall

But People Grow Up And Move Away

But You Don'T Care And I Don'T Mind At All

{Post-Chorus}

I Got The Car, You'Ve Got The Bag

A Handwritten Note Left From Mom And Dad

A Police Scanner Bouncing On The Dash

A Cup Of Burnt Coffee And A Check To Cash

I Had The Brains For That City Job

But You Got The Taste Of A County Cop

A Pack Of Cigarettes And A Round Of Golf

Make A Living Working For The Paid Time Off
