Out of Office (Cherry Red)

[Intro]
[Verse]
The Slack pings are ringing
My coffee cup is cold
The manager is singing
The same story being told
I slipped past the glass door
Can't take it anymore
My keys are in my hand
Walking on the river sand
[Pre-Chorus]
The chatter starts to blur
Like a soft and distant purr
The willow branches sway
I’m throwing the day away
[Chorus]
Cherry popsicle dripping down
Far away from the office town
Red stains on my favorite jeans
Living in my lo-fi dreams
The river rocks are smooth and gray
I think I’m gonna stay
[Verse]
A stray cat with a notched ear
Is the only colleague here
He rubs against my white sock
Leaning on a jagged rock
The sun feels like a fuzzy hug
I pulled the digital plug
No more synergy or goals
Just the way the water rolls
[Chorus]
Cherry popsicle dripping down
Far away from the office town
Red stains on my favorite jeans
Living in my lo-fi dreams
The river rocks are smooth and gray
I think I’m gonna stay
[Bridge]
They are falling backwards now
Trying to remember how
To trust a team of strangers
Avoiding all the dangers
But I trust the summer heat
And the sugar that is sweet
[Hook]
Don't call my name
It's not a game
Don't call my name
It's not the same
[Post-Chorus]
Cherry red, cherry red
Peace inside my head
Cherry red, cherry red
Leave the rest unsaid
[Chorus]
Cherry popsicle dripping down
Far away from the office town
Red stains on my favorite jeans
Living in my lo-fi dreams
The river rocks are smooth and gray
I think I’m gonna stay
[Outro]
