[Verse 1] You’re right The hours don’t stretch They just stack on your desk Coffee rings on your notebook Deadlines chasing your steps You keep circling the same block Heart racing the clock Breathing in tiny sips Till you almost forget [Chorus] You’re not a robot You’re not a machine You get to slow down You get to breathe Work is work But your heart is the headline You’re not a robot You’re allowed to draw the line [Verse 2] You say “there’s so much to do If I stop I’ll fall behind” But you can’t pour from a glass That’s been empty for a while Take off that heavy jacket Of every single task You’re allowed to leave it hanging You’re allowed to laugh [Chorus] You’re not a robot You’re not a machine You get to slow down You get to dream Work is work But your joy is the lifeline You’re not a robot You’re allowed to draw the line [Bridge] Time is not elastic You can’t pull it till it snaps But you can choose your part in it Choose what you give back So close the screen Stretch your arms Let the spinning world turn on You’re doing what you can (and that’s enough, enough, enough) [Chorus] You’re not a robot You’re not a machine You get to slow down You get to be Work is work But your well-being shines You’re not a robot You’re allowed to draw the line (yeah, you’re allowed to draw the line)
