Behind the Copy Machine
At first
 Only coworkers.
 A forbidden friendship.
 Breaks
 Lunch
 Just us two
 We are stuck
 Like two pieces of paper
 Held by a staple
 That can’t be removed.
 Boss doesn’t know.
 How well we know each other.
 Gotta keep
 The speedbump
 In office relationships
 Out of inspection
 Keep the feeling
 Buried under
 A pile of papers.
 No drawing hearts
 On message pads
 And expired invoices.
 Oh what is this?
 
 Chorus: And no one can believe 
 It all started on a Monday
 Behind the copy machine.
 By the drinking fountain.
 Beside my office chair.
 And it didn’t stop there.
 
 paging
 Please make your way
 To the lobby.
  You have an important meeting
 With yours truly.
 Conference room
 Me and you.
 They try to stare 
 But they can’t see
 My fingers in your hair.
 
 At first, 
 Only coworkers.
 
 Chorus: And no one can believe 
 It all started on a Monday
 Behind the copy machine.
 By the drinking fountain.
 Beside my office chair.
 And it didn’t stop there
 
 On that fateful day,
 (It was a Monday)
 I remember what was said
 “I’m caught in a jam,
 And I could really use
 A helping hand.
 The scanner won’t work
 The paper is building up.
 And I’ve just about
 Had enough.”
 With a smile
 And a good 
 Mechanic’s sense.
 “No big deal
 I am used to 
 This kind of nonsense.
 I’ve got the tools to fix it 
 Up real quick.”
 
 Breaks 
 Lunch 
 Just us two
 
 Chorus: And no one can believe 
 It all started on a Monday
 Behind the copy machine.
 By the drinking fountain.
 Beside my office chair.
 And it didn’t stop there
  
 You were shipping
 I was receiving
 Both of us travelers
 Down an unknown path.
 Both of us scared
 Of our boss’s wrath.
 I blame it all 
 On that Monday
 Behind the copy machine.
 Where you made my heart beat.
 When I realized I had no way
 And no need to hide
 What I was feeling.
 
 And No one can believe it all started on a Monday
 Behind the copy machine.
