[Verse 1] You take the corner office, I take the window seat We trade the morning numbers like the weather and the week Your coffee’s gone stone cold beside the plans we have to make I ask if you can check the figures; you say, “Sure, I’ll take a look” [Pre-Chorus] We know the rules, we know the lines We keep the past outside the signs [Chorus] We still work the same old floor Pass the files, don’t say much more You know my jokes, I know your face We give each other room and space By five o’clock we leave it there Two separate rides into the air We broke apart, the work goes on We clock in side by side till dawn [Verse 2] The team orders lunch, you ask if I still skip the pickles I almost say, “You always knew,” then laugh and pass the napkins You lead the meeting, steady as the first day that we met I write down every deadline, keep the things I shouldn’t forget [Pre-Chorus] We know the rules, we know the lines No need to turn back time [Chorus] We still work the same old floor Pass the files, don’t say much more You know my jokes, I know your face We give each other room and space By five o’clock we leave it there Two separate rides into the air We broke apart, the work goes on We clock in side by side till dawn [Bridge] Maybe someday this won’t sting Maybe it’s just a changing thing For now, you sign, I take the page We make it through another day [Final Chorus] We still work the same old floor Pass the files, don’t say much more You know my jokes, I know your face We give each other room and space By five o’clock we leave it there No promises we need to share We broke apart, the work goes on We clock in side by side, move on [Outro] You take the stairs, I wait a beat Tomorrow, same desk, same street
