lyrics

Seen you at the printer, paper on your sleeve

Colleague at the desk, you let me leave

Manager came by, you held your face

Said “he stepped out” and kept my place

Lunch gone cold by the kettle in the back

You never made it big, you kept it on track

My name stayed clean when the day got rough

You took that glance and said enough

I watched you nod, no noise, no show

Held that line when they asked my code

Little thing, but it meant a lot

You never said a word, you just got it

You covered me

You covered me

You covered me

You covered me

Same quiet way, you never made a scene

Tuesday, five-ten, the Slack went red

I was late from the bus, dead in my head

You moved my call by the meeting room

Left a note on my chair, blue pen, “soon”

Custard cream crumbs on the break room plate

You saved me one more time, you were never late

If they tried to press, you kept it light

Turned that whole mess down, made it right

You covered me

You covered me

You covered me

You covered me

Same quiet way, you never made a scene

Now I see your coat by the glass door

Keys in your palm, you don’t ask for more

If I get you back, it’s due by right

Tea on your way, till the end of night

You covered me

You covered me

You covered me

You covered me

Same quiet way, you never made a scene
