Negotiated her own record deal at twenty-two and reads contracts for fun

Honest use case: Someone who appreciates mundane details used to convey a deeper, static feeling of resignation or frustration.

Exhibit: “The most professionally embarrassing document of my career is stuck to a fridge between a takeaway menu and a photo.”

lyrics

(the folded letter)

It went in the drawer in August, under the menus
And it moved house twice inside a box of other paper
And on a Tuesday I took it out and gave it over wet-handed
And she read both pages standing at the sink

The folded letter (the letter)
Thirty days notice, the letter
And a page two, the letter
The letter

The folded letter, letter, the folded letter, letter
I drafted an exit and I wrote a reason underneath it
The folded letter, letter, the folded letter, letter
And she read the reason and ignored the exit entirely

It is on the fridge now. Both pages. With a magnet.
The most professionally embarrassing document of my career
is stuck to a fridge between a takeaway menu and a photo.
(bass returns)

The folded letter, letter, the folded letter, letter
I drafted an exit and I wrote a reason underneath it
The folded letter, letter, the folded letter, letter
And she read the reason and ignored the exit entirely

(on the fridge...)
