Florescent lights, office doors Coffee stains spot the floors And you're half asleep Stuck in a dream It's only weekends you feel alive Stuck in limbo from nine to five But you're better off Secure and tough And you think It's only a matter of time Til that happiness is mine And since when did the things I love to do Get stuck on the other side? Don't wanna be another weekday nine to five I used to imagine what I could be Writing songs til I felt free from my own head From what they said I always thought I'd make it fine I wouldn't be stuck passing my time in a six by eight But it's getting late And it's only a matter of time Til that happiness is mine And since when did the things I love to do Get stuck on the other side? Don't wanna be another weekday nine to five I always said I'd be okay sleeping on a pull-out bed As long as I love what I do And I can be right next to you And I can't describe the way I feel An office job has no appeal to me And I know that it's only a matter of time Til that happiness is mine And since when did the things I love to do Get stuck on the other side? Don't wanna be another weekday nine to five And it's only a matter of time Til that happiness is mine And since when did the things I love to do Get stuck on the other side? Don't wanna be another weekday nine to five
