Lyrics

Intro

Just a little longer...

Verse 1

Sitting at my desk while the clock ticks slowListening to him talk like he’s the only one who knowsMeetings drag on and the air gets thickEverybody’s thinking it but nobody will speak

Chorus

Getting closerEvery single dayTo telling my bossHe’d help us allIf he’d just shut his mouth

Verse 2

Coffee getting cold as he drones on againIdeas that go nowhere, words without an endI bite my tongue and count the hours downKnowing one of these mornings the truth is coming out

Chorus

Getting closerEvery single dayTo telling my bossHe’d help us allIf he’d just shut his mouth

Bridge

The whole room would breathe easier, work would finally flowIf he closed that mouth more often, everybody knows

Chorus

Getting closerEvery single dayTo telling my bossHe’d help us allIf he’d just shut his mouth
