lyrics

You slid my badge by the kettle tray

At eight forty-five, when the printer jammed

You told the team I was stuck in Sandton way

And kept my name out the Slack chat spam

I saw your hand on the folder clip

I saw you move when the manager came

You took that load, then you let it slip

Never once said my name

I owe you

I owe you

I owe you

I owe you

You covered me clean

You covered me clean

In the lift by the ninth-floor door

You passed me my mug and my signed-in sheet

While I was ten minutes late from the store

You held that line in the morning heat

No big speech, just a nod and go

No scene in the break room, no need for praise

You kept it calm when the numbers froze

And moved like it was just the way

I owe you

I owe you

I owe you

I owe you

You covered me clean

You covered me clean

At five past six, by the torn blue chair

You handed back keys and walked away

No loud report, no badge to wear

Just quiet help in the middle of the day

I owe you

I owe you

I owe you

I owe you

You covered me clean

You covered me clean
