Behind the Copy Machine
At first
Only coworkers.
A forbidden friendship.
Breaks
Lunch
Just us two
We are stuck
Like two pieces of paper
Held by a staple
That can’t be removed.
Boss doesn’t know.
How well we know each other.
Gotta keep
The speedbump
In office relationships
Out of inspection
Keep the feeling
Buried under
A pile of papers.
No drawing hearts
On message pads
And expired invoices.
Oh what is this?
Chorus: And no one can believe
It all started on a Monday
Behind the copy machine.
By the drinking fountain.
Beside my office chair.
And it didn’t stop there.
paging
Please make your way
To the lobby.
You have an important meeting
With yours truly.
Conference room
Me and you.
They try to stare
But they can’t see
My fingers in your hair.
At first,
Only coworkers.
Chorus: And no one can believe
It all started on a Monday
Behind the copy machine.
By the drinking fountain.
Beside my office chair.
And it didn’t stop there
On that fateful day,
(It was a Monday)
I remember what was said
“I’m caught in a jam,
And I could really use
A helping hand.
The scanner won’t work
The paper is building up.
And I’ve just about
Had enough.”
With a smile
And a good
Mechanic’s sense.
“No big deal
I am used to
This kind of nonsense.
I’ve got the tools to fix it
Up real quick.”
Breaks
Lunch
Just us two
Chorus: And no one can believe
It all started on a Monday
Behind the copy machine.
By the drinking fountain.
Beside my office chair.
And it didn’t stop there
You were shipping
I was receiving
Both of us travelers
Down an unknown path.
Both of us scared
Of our boss’s wrath.
I blame it all
On that Monday
Behind the copy machine.
Where you made my heart beat.
When I realized I had no way
And no need to hide
What I was feeling.
And No one can believe it all started on a Monday
Behind the copy machine.
