Night Shift - Lucy Dacus

The first time I tasted somebody else’s spit, I had a coughing fit

I mistakenly called them by your name

I was let down, it wasn’t the same

I’m doing fine, trying to derail my one track mind

Regaining my self-worth in record time

But I can’t help but think of your other in the bed that was mine

Am I a masochist, resisting urges to punch you in the teeth

Call you a bitch and leave?

Why did I come here?

To sit and watch you stare at your feet?

What was the plan?

Absolve your guilt and shake hands?

I feel no need to forgive but I might as well

But let me kiss your lips so I know how it felt

Pay for my coffee and leave before the sun goes down

Walk for hours in the dark feeling all hell

Don’t hold your breath, forget you ever saw me at my best

You don’t deserve what you don’t respect

Don’t deserve what you say you love and then neglect

Now bite your tongue, it’s too dangerous to fall so young

Take back what you said

Can’t lose what you never had

I feel no need to forgive but I might as well

But let me kiss your lips so I know how it felt

Pay for my coffee and leave before the sun goes down

Walk for hours in the dark feeling all hell

You got a 9 to 5, so I’ll take the night shift

And I’ll never see you again if I can help it

In five years, I hope the songs feel like covers

Dedicated to new lovers

You got a 9 to 5, so I’ll take the night shift

And I’ll never see you again if I can help it

In five years, I hope the songs feel like covers

Dedicated to new lovers

You got a 9 to 5, so I’ll take the night shift

And I’ll never see you again if I can help it

In five years, I hope the songs feel like covers

Dedicated to new lovers
