Two Hours Early, Dress Shirt Pressed

Lyrics

Alarm at five, I'm already up
Dress shirt pressed, coffee in my cup
Bus pulls in with the morning gold
Interview day, gotta be bold
Practice my answers on the window glass
Tell myself this nerve is gonna pass
Shoes got shine, resume in hand
Two hours early, that's my plan

Knock knock, here I come
Heart like a kick drum

Two hours early, let's go
Two hours early, steady and slow
Nerves in my chest turn to fire in my stride
Two hours early with nothing to hide
Two hours early, let's go
Two hours early, put on a show
Door's gonna open cause I showed up first
Two hours early, I'm ready to burst

Lobby's got a plant and a quiet clock
Receptionist smiles, I take a walk
Block around the building, breathe it in
Whisper to myself I'm gonna win
Mama said be kind, say thank you twice
Look them in the eye, don't think it twice
Every little hustle got me to this street
Now I tap my feet to a different beat

Knock knock, here I come
Heart like a kick drum

Two hours early, let's go
Two hours early, steady and slow
Nerves in my chest turn to fire in my stride
Two hours early with nothing to hide
Two hours early, let's go
Two hours early, put on a show
Door's gonna open cause I showed up first
Two hours early, I'm ready to burst

Hold up, deep breath
Count it down, no stress
Whatever they say, I did my best
Up the stairs, that's the test

Two hours early, let's go
Two hours early, steady and slow
Nerves in my chest turn to fire in my stride
Two hours early with nothing to hide
Two hours early, let's go
Two hours early, put on a show
Door's gonna open cause I showed up first
Two hours early, I'm ready to burst

Handshake firm, voice is clear
Two hours early, I'm right here
