Levia Dali - Off Duty Tonight

Lyrics [Verse 1] “Where’s my charger? Where’s my coat?” Same old drawer, same old note You call my name before you try Like I’m the map for everybody’s life Three cold cups beside the sink Can I finish just one thought, one drink? Everybody’s running out of time Somehow they keep borrowing mine [Pre-Chorus] Laundry, lessons, what comes next I’m the one who checks and checks Who decided I would carry it all? Tonight I’m letting someone take the call [Chorus] Off duty, off duty tonight I want a little of my own life You call me Mama, I’ve got a name Dreams of my own that never went away I love you, but I can’t do it all You can take a turn, I can take a pause Off duty, off duty tonight This little piece of time is mine [Post-Chorus] Mine, mine, a little time Off duty tonight Mine, mine, a little time Let me have mine [Verse 2] School forms waiting on my phone Why’s the calendar mine alone? You say, “Just tell me what to do” But making the list is a job too I sit down, then I’m up again Never see how the movie ends Tonight you choose, tonight you plan I know you can, I know you can [Pre-Chorus] Not another thing to delegate Not another plate to rotate Take the whole job, start to end I need room to hear myself again [Chorus] Off duty, off duty tonight I want a little of my own life You call me Mama, I’ve got a name Dreams of my own that never went away I love you, but I can’t do it all You can take a turn, I can take a pause Off duty, off duty tonight This little piece of time is mine [Bridge] Before that name, there was a girl With her own songs, her own whole world She’s still here beneath the plans With tired eyes and open hands I don’t need to earn my rest Or pass another little test No big reason, no grand design Just a life that’s also mine [Final Chorus] Off duty, off duty tonight I’m taking back a little of my life You call me Mama, I’ve got a name Dreams of my own that never went away I love you, but I can’t do it all You can take a turn, I can take a pause Off duty, off duty tonight This little piece of time is mine [Outro] Mine, mine, a little time My tea is warm tonight Off duty, off duty tonight This little piece of time is mine Levia Dali
