Window Seat
(Verse 1: John)
Oversee me, keep me steady
I forget that I am free to come and go
It’s a long way, for a shortcut
Take a window seat, make the most of me
(Verse 1: Kerr)
I can’t recall the last time I felt like this
I can open up with no danger
Ready to flip my desk, with no consequence
Another forced encounter, with a stranger
We never talk/ I stand and assist
I don’t live/ I breathe and exist/
I pass time like the watch on your wrist
You’ve got me on call till I’m done or dismissed
You stole a head full of consciousness
I’m a give it back, some of that, confidence
(Verse 1: John)
Make me dress down, keep me waiting
It’s the silence and the faces I don’t know
I can hold out, just for so long
Take a window seat, make the most of me
(Verse 1: Kerr)
I’d rather bleed myself dry, than take this call
I’ve served my time, and I’m gone
Every six months, becomes training day
And that revolving door, it moves on
Every other week, there’s a fresh faced new start
And it’s all for the wage that you pay me
They’ll dance to the tune that you play
And follow the script, to the letter each day
I caught myself, at the bottom
In the fall just like autumn
(Chorus: John)
We fold, inside
This is all I know
For sure in time
Mend the heart you stole
(Verse 2: Kerr)
I work a job I hate, to buy shit I don’t need
I don’t see myself here for money, nor greed
I can dodge a left hook, or take it on the chin
I can fold my cards, or I can play till I win
I am the deciding factor, I can change the course of my landscape
And no corporate wage or handshake, will make me follow that mandate
And its clear when I speak
My minds unique
I won’t work for a chain gang
Five day week
(Verse 2: John)
Knock the dust off, spill the colour
You won’t get the chance to see me turn to stone
Find a new start, with a keen heart
Leave the window seat, leave the rest of me
(Chorus: John)
We fold, inside
This is all I know
For sure in time
Mend the heart you stole
Oversee me, keep me steady
I forget that I am free to come and go
It’s a long way, for a shortcut
Take a window seat, make the most of me
(Verse 1: Kerr)
I can’t recall the last time I felt like this
I can open up with no danger
Ready to flip my desk, with no consequence
Another forced encounter, with a stranger
