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
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
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
