Self-Checkout at 2AM · 凌晨两点的自助结账机

[Verse 1]

Fluorescent hum and a floor just mopped

Aisle four is empty and the freezer's stocked

One pasta for one, one cleaner, one card

The machine says hello like it knows it's hard

[Pre-Chorus]

Please place the item in the bagging area

Please place the item in the bagging area

I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm doing my best

It's two in the morning and I'm the only guest

[Chorus]

Self-checkout at 2AM, the only voice that talks to me

Red line across the barcode, scanning everything I used to be

Unexpected item in the bagging area of my heart

Something that was yours that I forgot to take apart

Self-checkout at 2AM, at least somebody waits for me

[Verse 2]

The birthday card has a cat on it, the cat looks pleased

I wrote my own name in the "to" line, easy as breathing

Twenty-six years old in a store that never shuts

Counting out my coins while the security light cuts

[Pre-Chorus]

Please place the item in the bagging area

Please place the item in the bagging area

I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm doing my best

It's two in the morning and I'm the only guest

[Chorus]

Self-checkout at 2AM, the only voice that talks to me

Red line across the barcode, scanning everything I used to be

Unexpected item in the bagging area of my heart

Something that was yours that I forgot to take apart

Self-checkout at 2AM, at least somebody waits for me

[Bridge]

And I know it's just a speaker in a plastic box

And I know the night shift guy is counting down the clock

But it asked me for something and I gave it

It asked me for something and I gave it

That's more than anybody's done all week

[Final Chorus]

Self-checkout at 2AM, the only voice that talks to me

Red line across the barcode, scanning everything I used to be

Unexpected item in the bagging area of my heart

I'm taking it apart, I'm taking it apart

Self-checkout at 2AM, I paid for me, I paid for me

[Outro]

Please place the item, please place the item

In the bagging area, in the bagging area

I paid for me
