Three views of the same (sort of) place

lyrics

Palms down, fingers flat on the button scuffed counter
Sat elbow to familiar elbow, stares the middle distance down to
The cold end of the long office - only way out only way in.
Calling the next one over keeps the distant mind from straying

And he thinks
"I don't know how to put this in a way you'll understand
But I don't really want to be here

Given the alternatives, on the other hand
I guess it makes sense to stay here
I guess it makes sense to stay here."

Tatty trainers, jacket torn, still exuding frozen breeze that lingers
Leaning against the standing aches, into pockets with grubby fingers
Glancing through the long office - only way out; only way in
Presenting shabby words, head down but clear the eyes are saying

"I don't know how to put this in a way you'll understand
But I don't really want to be here.
Given the alternatives, on the other hand
I guess it makes sense to stay here
I guess it makes sense to stay here."

Stares through steamed up windows, our rings glisten damp and red
The distant unsettled glow, though his mobile's nearly dead
He's saying

"I don't know how to put this in a way you'll understand
But I don't really want to be here.
Given the alternatives on the other hand
I guess it makes sense to stay here
I guess it makes sense to stay here."

I don't know how to put this in a way you'll understand
But I don't really want to be here.
Given the alternatives on the other hand
I guess it makes sense to stay here
I guess it makes sense to stay here.
