"Last Call" lyrics

"Last Call"

In the early morning, just before the day starts to creep
That's when I finally lay my head down to sleep
Count in the cracks in the plaster waiting for the radiator to come through
Just a thin blanket between me and you

How did I, I didn't sign up for this
What else have I missed
Last call, third shift
Last call, third shift

In the early morning, just before the day starts to break
I make my claim, I lay my stake
And later as the bar starts to empty, I think how I'll make my move
I mentally pack, think what I'm prepared to lose

I have nothing tying me here
Nothing left of value
And that's when I realize
What I'm prepared to lose is you

How did I, I didn't sign up for this
What else have I missed
Last call, third shift
Last call, third shift
Last call, third shift

I am broken like a cracked and discarded china dinner plate
Something that used to be cared for, something someone once thought was great
And as the engine's warming, I don't see her move towards me, I'm oblivious
Her face is glacial as she leans in for a kiss
