Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
VERSE 1
Jim in sales has got it bad today
Receptionist's engaged to Roy (Receptionist, engaged to Roy)
With camera looks and clever quips
He stole her heart like poker chips
And later she called off her wedding day
Was it love or was it all the tricks
We played on the boss's number 2? (Boss's number 2)
Is it all just office politics?
I couldn't care less when I'm with you
CHORUS
If you're working 9 to 5
And can't get out alive
Just meet me in the breakroom in 10
We'll hang out, hiding from the boss
And pray our paths don't cross
I'll say it's like we're on the lam
You'll say "Hello, Dunder Mifflin, this is Pam."
VERSE 2
The ARM is secretly in love
With Angela in accounting (Tight-ass Christian chick)
He said "If 1 plus 1 is two
Then all I really need is you
To make this simple equation complete"
Question: Did you see me act in the
Screenplay Michael wrote that I tore through (Here's a dunder-ku)
Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica
And Agent Scarn are no match for you
[CHORUS]
BRIDGE
Can you beer me one more chance to say what I want to say?
I'm a bit worn out cause I've been playin' Flonkerton all day, hey hey
It's a drag tryin' to make ends meet but I guess we could do worse
Where else can you find a guy like Dwigt buying a purse?
Got a new iPod for Christmas, think I'd rather stay at home
Suddenly got Count Choculitis, can you hand me the phone, oh no
Gotta move that grill I think I'll spend the day in bed
It won't be the first time I faked it and, that's what she said
OUTRO
Let's gangbang this thing and go home
Hello, Dunder Mifflin, this is Pam
This was the best Dundies ever
What's the downside? Collapse on myself like a dying star
Hey Oscar, how was your gay-cation?
Pippity poppity give me the zoppity
Jim in sales has got it bad today
Receptionist's engaged to Roy (Receptionist, engaged to Roy)
With camera looks and clever quips
He stole her heart like poker chips
And later she called off her wedding day
Was it love or was it all the tricks
We played on the boss's number 2? (Boss's number 2)
Is it all just office politics?
I couldn't care less when I'm with you
CHORUS
If you're working 9 to 5
And can't get out alive
Just meet me in the breakroom in 10
We'll hang out, hiding from the boss
And pray our paths don't cross
I'll say it's like we're on the lam
You'll say "Hello, Dunder Mifflin, this is Pam."

THIS SONG IS SO AWESOME! I love that the artists know all the little things about The Office. Sooo awesome.
