Desk to Dawn

[Intro] Days at the desk blur into gray Dreams on the shelf yell “sing today!” [Verse 1] I clock in, pretend to be fine But the kettle hums a chorus I can’t hide Coffee-scented air and fluorescent light Whisper I’m meant for a brighter sky [Pre-Chorus] If I close my eyes, the coffee fades to sound I’m stepping out, I’m turning around [Chorus] I wanna sing where the crowd lights up the stars Trade in the routine for a voice that goes far Let the rhythm lift me off the ground I’m trading this desk for a brighter sound [Verse 2] Notes in my pockets like slips of fate A tambourine heart composing on a break The rubber stamp world can’t cage the fire This desk job’s ending, I’m reaching higher [Pre-Chorus] If I close my eyes, the cubicles fall away I’m chasing notes that won’t fade to gray [Chorus] I wanna sing where the crowd lights up the stars Trade in the routine for a voice that goes far Let the rhythm lift me off the ground I’m trading this desk for a brighter sound [Bridge] If not now, when will melodies bloom? I’ll trade the boots for glowing rooms Let the chorus carry me home to you Where every whisper becomes true [Chorus] I wanna sing where the crowd lights up the stars Trade in the routine for a voice that goes far Let the rhythm lift me off the ground I’m trading this desk for a brighter sound [Outro] One day I’ll stand under a brighter sky Sing out loud, let the boring fade and fly
