Ship Five In Paris

[Verse 1]
Stuck in the Paris post office
Line moves like a sleepy train
Ticket in my hand, you know it
Box still waiting in the rain

I brought the tape and patience
You brought five more things to send
Now the clerk keeps pointing, smiling
Like this hallway never ends

[Pre-Chorus]
One box, two box, three
Then the form comes back to me
I keep asking, “How long now?”
They just shrug and stamp me out

[Chorus]
Stuck in the Paris post office
(stuck in the Paris post office)
You got to ship five
(you got to ship five)
Stuck in the Paris post office
(stuck in the Paris post office)
I’ll be here all night
(I’ll be here all night)

[Verse 2]
There's a broken pen beside me
And a cart with one bent wheel
Man in front of me is counting
Every label like it's steel

My box says “fragile” in marker
Your box says “send it fast”
Mine just sits there by the window
While the minutes crawl past

[Pre-Chorus]
One box, two box, three
Then the form comes back to me
I keep asking, “How long now?”
They just shrug and stamp me out

[Chorus]
Stuck in the Paris post office
(stuck in the Paris post office)
You got to ship five
(you got to ship five)
Stuck in the Paris post office
(stuck in the Paris post office)
I’ll be here all night
(I’ll be here all night)

[Bridge]
I swear the ceiling's watching
Every little shuffle step
If this line moves any slower
I might just mail myself

[Final Chorus]
Stuck in the Paris post office
(stuck in the Paris post office)
You got to ship five
(you got to ship five)
Stuck in the Paris post office
(stuck in the Paris post office)
Say a prayer and try
(say a prayer and try)
Stuck in the Paris post office
(stuck in the Paris post office)
I’ll be here all night
(I’ll be here all night)
