날씨도 좋고, 심지어 금요일에다가, 퇴근 시간입니다!



Off the Clock

acmester


Fluorescent lights and a tired machine

Another long day disappearing off the screen

Coffee went cold, but I made it through

Now the train doors open like a sky breaking through


Keys in my hand, city gold in the glass

All of that pressure finally starts to pass

I loosen my shoulders, I loosen my name

Step by step, I’m not the same


No more ringing in my head

No more weight I have to drag

Night breeze on my face instead

And I’m never looking back


Off the clock, I can breathe again

Leave the noise where the day has been

Heart wakes up when the streetlights glow

I’m alive in the afterglow


Off the clock, let the hard day drop

Let it roll right off, let it finally stop

Got a little bit of light, got a little bit of room

And tomorrow feels good coming soon


Messages fade in the back of my mind

Deadlines lose their teeth when I leave them behind

Sneakers on pavement, rhythm in my chest

The night says softly, “You did your best”


Windows shine like a movie scene

Nothing too perfect, but the air feels clean

I’m not chasing magic, I’m not asking why

I just like this freedom in the evening sky


No more pressure in my hands

No more racing for the door

Just the quiet of the night

And I’m wanting something more


Off the clock, I can breathe again

Leave the noise where the day has been

Heart wakes up when the streetlights glow

I’m alive in the afterglow


Off the clock, let the hard day drop

Let it roll right off, let it finally stop

Got a little bit of light, got a little bit of room

And tomorrow feels good coming soon


Not every task is done

Not every box is checked

But I’ve got this road, this wind, this song

And that is enough for now


Off the clock, I can breathe again

Leave the weight where the day has been

Heart wakes up when the streetlights glow

I’m alive in the afterglow


Off the clock, now the world feels wide

Got the whole night walking by my side

Got a little bit of hope, got a little more bloom

And tomorrow feels good coming soon


Off the clock

Out in the night

Off the clock

Coming back to life
