Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Another Monday morning, rushing out the door
Briefcase in one hand, coffee cup in the other
Made it just in time to catch the train downtown
My coffee's getting cold, but there's no time now
[Pre-chorus]
Oh, these meetings won't attend themselves
And these emails keep on piling up, mmm
[Chorus]
Coffee's cold again, sitting on my desk
Papers everywhere, barely time to rest
Coffee's cold again, but I can't complain
This is what it takes to make my way
[Verse 2]
Three missed calls and twenty deadlines due
I keep pushing through 'til my screen turns blue
Someone's crying in the bathroom down the hall
While I pretend I didn't hear it at all
(La-da-da, just another day)
The clock keeps ticking but it feels so slow
My coffee's cold but I've got four more hours to go
[Pre-chorus]
Oh, these numbers need to add up right
And my boss needs that report tonight, mmm
[Chorus]
Coffee's cold again, sitting on my desk
Papers everywhere, barely time to rest
Coffee's cold again, but I can't complain
This is what it takes to make my way
[Bridge]
Sometimes I wonder what I'm chasing here
Corner office dreams that just disappear
Mom said I could be anything at all
Now I'm just trying not to hit the wall
(Oh-oh-oh)
[Verse 3]
The sun is setting as I pack my things
Another day of giving everything
Tomorrow morning I'll be back again
With fresh coffee that'll soon grow cold, my friend
[Chorus]
Coffee's cold again, sitting on my desk
Papers everywhere, barely time to rest
Coffee's cold again, but I can't complain
This is what it takes to make my way
(This is what it takes, this is what it takes)
