Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus 1] How did I, I didn't sign up for this What else have I missed Last call, third shift Last call, third shift [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] I have nothing tying me here Nothing left of value And that's when I realize What I'm prepared to lose is you [Chorus 2] 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 [Verse 4] 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
