lyrics

Badge on my keychain, bent at the edge

Nine nineteen clock, red in the ledge

Nail in the break room, chipped on the tray

I fold my apron, take the lint away

Blue locker door sticks, needs two hard pulls

My name on the clipboard, with the coffee refills

Last box of tea bags, taped shut in the back

I know every crack in the floor where I sat

Two more minutes

Then I’m through

My phone face-down

Still buzzing for you

One last shift

One last shift

One last shift

One last shift

I hate it

I’ll miss it

I hate it

I’ll miss it

Receipt tape curls up like a ribbon in white

Mop water cold under fluorescent light

The freezer hums low when I pass that door

I laugh at the stain I used to ignore

Crowded at six, then dead by eight

Someone left fries on the prep steel plate

I clock out clean, but I take the smell

Of salt in my hair and the storage-room bell

Two more minutes

Then I’m through

My phone face-down

Still buzzing for you

One last shift

One last shift

One last shift

One last shift

I hate it

I’ll miss it

I hate it

I’ll miss it

Paper cut thumb on the timecard line

Keys in my fist like a tiny shrine

I kiss the mirror with a greasy grin

Say “see you” to a place I never fit in

One last shift

One last shift

One last shift

One last shift

I hate it

I’ll miss it

I hate it

I’ll miss it
