lyrics

(instrumental)

I check the rota in the office more often than is defensible
Not to swap. Not to plan. Just to confirm you still exist.
Weeks laid out in a grid with your surname in a box
(in a box)
That is the most romantic document I have ever read

You are on nights until March (until March)
I read that and felt something people write poems about

Rota
(rota)
Somebody in HR accidentally wrote a love letter
Rota
Twelve weeks of you, printed, on a wall, in Arial

There is a version of March where the grid changes
And you are days and I am nights and we simply stop
No decision, no conversation, just a spreadsheet ending it
(ending it)
That is how most things end here. Quietly. Administratively.

So I asked. Out loud. Like a person.
"What happens in March."
You said "I'll request nights." That's it. That's the proposal.
(DRUMS RETURN)

Rota
(rota)
Somebody in HR accidentally wrote a love letter
Rota
Twelve weeks of you, printed, on a wall, in Arial

(until March...)
