Make the Morning Wait

Verse 1

Friday, borrowed car, 12:03

Your red shoes planted on the dash

My boss keeps burning through the screen

You turn it facedown, let him ask

We miss the exit on purpose

For once I don't turn us around

Pre

All week everybody gets a piece

Tonight the clock can chase us

Chorus

Make the morning wait

Let it hammer at the gate

They can have my nine to five

They don't get my after eight

Kiss me crooked while the whole block wakes

Make the morning wait

Verse 2

Two-seventeen on rooftop gravel

Washers turning underneath

You pull the work key from my chain

And hold it where we both can see

"They get the best of every hour

I get the scraps you couldn't spend"

Pre

The key stops spinning between us

I don't pick it up

Chorus

Make the morning wait

Let it hammer at the gate

They can have my nine to five

They don't get my after eight

Kiss me crooked while the whole block wakes

Make the morning wait

Bridge

Six-ten burning through the blinds

Work shirt hanging from the lamp

The phone starts shaking on the floor

You ask me if I'm going back

Breakdown

Let it buzz

Let it ring

Leave the work key by the sink

Make it wait

Final Chorus

Make the morning wait

Let it hammer at the gate

They can have my nine to five

They don't get my after eight

Kiss me crooked while the whole block wakes

Make the morning wait
