Hard Pants, Hard Pass

[Verse 1] You want me back, in the office again But I’m not sure if I can pretend We used to be fine, I didn’t mind the grind But remote life showed me a better kind I had my space, my mornings were mine Now you want me back like everything’s fine I used to get by, but now I see There’s a better way that works for me [Pre-Chorus 1x] You want me back, but I’m not the same I found my flow, I’m not playing that game We had our time, but now it’s gone I found something better, and I’m moving on [Chorus bass drop] The office wants me back, hard pants and all But I’ve found a better place, and I’m standing tall Crowded rooms, distractions, not what I need I had my space, I had my speed We used to be good, but now it’s clear I found something better, can’t go back here [Verse 2] It used to work, we made it okay But remote life showed me a brighter day No more long commutes, no busy halls I’ve tasted freedom, and I’m answering the calls I can’t pretend like I’m still the same I’ve moved ahead, I’ve changed the game We had our time, but now it’s done And I won’t go back to the way it was run [Pre-Chorus] You want me back, but I’m not the same I found my flow, I’m not playing that game We had our time, but now it’s gone I found something better, and I’m moving on [Chorus] The office wants me back, hard pants and all But I’ve found a better place, and I’m standing tall Crowded rooms, distractions, not what I need I had my space, I had my speed We used to be good, but now it’s clear I found something better, can’t go back here [Bridge] For what? The water-cooler talks we had? Is that the reason you’re pulling so bad? I thrived at home, I had my peace Now you want me back, but I’ve been released [Instrumental Interlude] [Chorus] The office wants me back, hard pants and all But I’ve found a better place, and I’m standing tall Crowded rooms, distractions, not what I need I had my space, I had my speed We used to be good, but now it’s clear I found something better, can’t go back here [Outro] So here’s the truth, we’ve grown apart My home office, that’s where I start I gave you my best, but I’ve moved on I can’t go back now, that chapter’s gone
