Count Me Out (Lyrics)

Dance-pop · upbeat · Made for the walk home after work On her first morning out of prison, a woman lies dressed on her nan's spare bed waiting for a seven o'clock unlock that isn't coming, and has to decide for herself when the day starts.

[Chorus] Count me out, count me out Nobody shouts unlock today Stood by the bed, no one's counting Count me out, count me out [Verse 2] Twenty past, I try the handle once And it gives, and I nearly fall Three doors on the landing, and I freeze And Nan's still snoring through the wall Down in the kitchen with the fridge door wide Waiting on someone to say okay So I eat Nan's trifle from the bowl Standing, like someone might take it away [Pre-Chorus] The letter on the side says two o'clock And nobody's told me what comes before [Chorus] Count me out, count me out Nobody shouts unlock today Stood by the bed, no one's counting Count me out, count me out [Verse 3] Eight o'clock, I slide the chain off the door And there's the sea at the end of the street There's a desk at two I can't be late for Or I'm back in by the end of the week The lollipop man says, "Morning, love" And I say it back way too loud The corner shop's got forty kinds of crisps And I can't pick one, so I walk out [Chorus] Count me out, count me out Nobody shouts unlock today Stood by the bed, no one's counting Count me out, count me out [Bridge] So I walk back home and I climb the stairs And I shut the door from the inside First door I've shut in fourteen months And I undo the laces I tied [Final Chorus] Count me out, count me out I shut the door myself today Back in bed, and no one's counting Count me out, count me out Count me out, count me out Let the whole of the morning wait The sea'll still be there at two Count me out, count me out [Outro] At ten she knocks and says, "You alright?" I tell her through the door, "Not yet" I'll be at that desk at two, I will But two is two, and this bit's mine #lyrics #dancepop #upbeat
