Calling In Sick Lyrics


Hard Life Calling In Sick

[Verse 1]
It's seven a.m. 
So maybe it's time that I leave
This happened again
Why does this keep happening to me? (Why's this keep happening to me?)
It's the morning commute, chock-a-block on the tube
I got some funny looks from the boys in the suits
Need something for my head right now
Think I need my bed right now, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Better call in sick, got a job I can't lose
Rehearsing my perfectly scripted excuse
Need something for my mood right now
Don't wanna face no home truths (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
Forever I make the same mistakes
I get up, get out, get over it
Just give me some space
Forever I'm always running late
Will you wait up for me?

[Verse 2]
It's seven a.m. 
So maybe it's time that I dip
This happened again
Last night is a blur, what a trip (What a trip, what a trip)
Tried to make a move, spilt my drink on my shoes
Didn't get lucky, some you win, some you lose
Feeling kinda dead right now
Hanging by a thread right now, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Felt my face melt, stood alone in the queue
I was east feeling west, nothing better to do
Need something for my head right now
Don't wanna face the music (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Chorus]
Forever I make the same mistakes
I get up, get out, get over it
Just give me some space
Forever I'm always running late
Will you wait up for me?
[Outro]
Let me set the record straight
I've seen myself on better days
And I feel kinda weird
Sometimes everything can escalate
I've seen myself in better states
So when the party's done
Make way for the morning sun
