MMM

Badge on the desk

coat on the chair

Coffee went cold but I left it there

Six tabs open

one more call

Saying “I’m fine” like I planned it all

Unread messages stacked in blue

I saw your name, didn’t know what to do

The deadline moved, then moved again

I drew a line and erased it with my hand

The office lights keep asking me to stay

But I’m already halfway out the day

I’m getting through

just getting through

A little less perfect than I said I’d do

When the door shuts down and the hallway clears

I can finally hear myself in here

I’m getting through

that’s all I need

Let the quiet

take the weight from me

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, let the quiet take the weight from me

Printer hum, elevator floor

Someone’s laughing by the conference door

My screen goes dark

the room turns still

There’s a whole world waiting past the hill

I type “tomorrow,”

leave it unsent

Save my breath for the time I get

No big speech, no victory sign

Just one deep breath and a little more time

The office lights keep asking me to stay

But I’m already halfway out the day

I’m getting through

getting through

just getting through

just getting through

A little less perfect than I said I’d do

When the door shuts down and the hallway clears

I can finally hear myself in here

I’m getting through

that’s all I need

Let the quiet

take the weight from me

Out by the corner, the air feels new

Nothing is fixed, but I made it through

Your message can wait till I’m ready to read

Tonight I’ve got room for the person I need

I’m getting through

just getting through

A little more honest than I used to do

When the door shuts down and the hallway clears

I can finally hear myself in here

I’m getting through

that’s all I need

Let the quiet take the weight from me

Coat on my shoulder

keys in my hand

No perfect ending, but I understand

I’m getting through, ooh, I’m getting through

I’m getting through
