Small Emergencies

[Intro]
Keys.
...
Where are my keys?
[Verse 1]
The alarm went off, I turned it down
Then somehow turned the whole thing off
Woke up twenty minutes late
Put on a shirt
Wrong way around
Toast went black, the butter fell
Exactly where the floor was clean
I found my keys inside my coat
The coat I'd checked
At least three times
[Pre-Chorus]
Nothing serious
Nothing new
Just another little thing
Refusing to do
What little things are supposed to do
[Chorus]
Small emergencies
All day long
Nothing important
Just slightly wrong
One after another
Perfectly timed
Small emergencies
Standing in line
No disaster
No grand collapse
Just tiny pieces
Slipping through the cracks
Small emergencies
One by one
And it's not even
Half past one
[Verse 2]
The charging cable reached the desk
By half an inch, but nothing more
I moved the chair to make it work
And kicked my coffee
On the floor
The printer swallowed page sixteen
Then printed twenty copies blank
The pen I needed disappeared
While still somehow
Inside my hand
[Pre-Chorus]
Nothing serious
Nothing new
Just another little thing
With nothing better left to do
[Chorus]
Small emergencies
All day long
Nothing important
Just slightly wrong
One after another
Perfectly timed
Small emergencies
Standing in line
No disaster
No grand collapse
Just tiny pieces
Slipping through the cracks
Small emergencies
One by one
And now it's only
Half past one
[Break]
USB won't fit again
Turn it once
And try again
Turn it back
It still says no
How many fucking sides
Can this thing grow?
Turn it left
Turn it right
Same damn plug
Different fight
Third attempt
Slides right in.
...
I don't ask.
I let it win.
[Toy orchestra flourish]
[Verse 3]
A sleeve caught on the door somehow
The spoon fell underneath the chair
My phone was missing for ten minutes
While I was talking
On it there
The shopping bag split at the gate
One orange made a run for it
I watched it rolling down the street
And briefly thought:
Good luck with it.
[Pre-Chorus]
Nothing serious
Nothing new
Nothing worth explaining to you
[Final Chorus]
Small emergencies
All day long
Nothing important
Just slightly wrong
One after another
Perfectly timed
Small emergencies
Standing in line
No disaster
No grand collapse
Just tiny pieces
Slipping through the cracks
Small emergencies
One by one
The day survived.
So did everyone.
[Outro]
Keys.
...
Where are my keys?
...
They're in my hand.
