[Intro] [Fingerpicked acoustic guitar, soft drums enter] [Verse 1 - Female Vocal] Nine o'clock, you're in the doorway Same blue coat I used to wear You say "morning" like a stranger Like I never slept right there I pour coffee, black, no sugar Still remember how you take it Funny how the hands keep moving When the heart's already breaking [Pre-Chorus - Female Vocal] And nobody here can see it Nobody knows what we were [Chorus - Both, Harmonies] So it's business as usual Keep it civil, keep it cool Pass the papers, sign your name Pretend I never needed you Oh, it's business as usual Every day from nine to five I can make it through the meetings It's the drive home that I don't survive [Verse 2 - Male Vocal] You laugh at someone's joke at lunch The way you used to laugh at mine I study numbers on a screen And read you in between the lines We built this thing when we were golden Now we're shareholders in the ruin Neither one of us will leave it Maybe that's the stubborn truth [Pre-Chorus - Male Vocal] And nobody here can see it Nobody knows what we were [Chorus - Both, Harmonies] So it's business as usual Keep it civil, keep it cool Pass the papers, sign your name Pretend I never needed you Oh, it's business as usual Every day from nine to five I can make it through the meetings It's the drive home that I don't survive [Bridge - Both, Trading Lines] (Female) Don't you look at me like that (Male) Like what? Like I remember? (Female) We said we'd keep it in the past (Male) Then why are you still here? (Both) Why are we still here? [Guitar Solo] [Soaring electric guitar solo, building drums] [Final Chorus - Both, Full Harmonies] 'Cause it's business as usual Keep it civil, keep it cool Pass the papers, sign your name Pretend I never needed you Oh, it's business as usual Every day from nine to five I can make it through the meetings It's the drive home, it's the drive home It's the drive home that I don't survive [Outro - Female Vocal, Soft] Nine o'clock, you're in the doorway See you tomorrow Same as always [Fade Out]
