Cup in My Hand

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Clock says nine Boss says, "Come with me" Clip on the badge Then I feel my knees go weak Paper on the desk Cup in my hand You swear it's routine But I don't understand [Pre-Chorus] I just drank water Like it was my job Now I'm staring at the ceiling Trying not to flub My heart says slow down My face says stay cool Every little step Feels like a test I can't lose [Chorus] Cup in my hand Cup in my hand Why's it always now Why's it always planned (cup in my hand) Cup in my hand Cup in my hand I showed up to work Not to make a stand [Verse 2] Janet from payroll Gives that polite smile Says "You'll be fine" But I'm sweating every mile Hallway smells like bleach Time moves like mud I'm counting every blink Like a guilty kind of flood [Pre-Chorus] I just drank water Like it was my job Now I'm staring at the ceiling Trying not to flub My heart says slow down My face says stay cool Every little step Feels like a test I can't lose [Chorus] Cup in my hand Cup in my hand Why's it always now Why's it always planned (cup in my hand) Cup in my hand Cup in my hand I showed up to work Not to make a stand [Bridge] If I pass this day I'm buying me fries If I don't, then baby I got alibis I ain't saying much I'm just holding still Trying to look like I belong here still [Final Chorus] Cup in my hand Cup in my hand Why's it always now Why's it always planned (cup in my hand) Cup in my hand Cup in my hand Clock out, breathe out Let me go back then
