lyrics

Last shift, stamp my card, watch the red light blink

Grease on the scanner, cold tea in the sink

Dock gate forty-two, my shoes on the tile

I hate this place, still I know every file

Paper cuts on my thumb from the invoice stack

Old fan on the wall keeps coughing me back

Noon rain on the roof, I hear it tap and stay

Three more hours till I walk away

But the bin still smells like rain and diesel

Your cracked blue mug on the ledge near the seal

I pack my pens slow, I don't wanna pretend

This place got under my skin to the end

Punch out now, punch out now

Punch out now, punch out now

I won't forget this floor

I won't forget this floor

Boss man turns the key, says "See you Monday"

I nod at the mirror by the worn-out tray

The bus stop's loud outside, mango man calls

My name on the roster, pinned to the walls

I cursed these walls, these hours, this desk

But the radio crackled and I knew the rest

Every broken chair and the fan that creaks

Every bad joke hung in the back room weak

Punch out now, punch out now

Punch out now, punch out now

I won't forget this floor

I won't forget this floor

Now the locker hangs open, bare and thin

One key, one lanyard, one ringed-up pin

If I hate you, why does my chest feel tight?

Maybe a mess can miss you by night

Punch out now, punch out now

Punch out now, punch out now

I won't forget this floor

I won't forget this floor
