I Shouldn't Be in Here

(Caught some place you shouldn't be, explain yourself)

I didn’t mean to be here

Please believe I’m being sincere

I didn’t think it would work

Hiding behind the clearance skirts

But the workers didn’t notice me

And now I have only a few dim lights to see

I’m stuck in here until they come to unlock the doors

My shoes are so loud on the tile floors

The movies made this look like such a blast

I really hope this night goes by fast

It’s too quiet and the shadows are freaking me out

Even my whispers sound as loud as a shout

It’s not much fun to be stuck here all alone

I guess I’ll find a corner to rest and play on my phone

I just jerked awake, after a fitful sleep

I gasp as I hear the sound of an alarm beep

I jump up as quick as my stiff legs will allow

He’s inside and flipping all the lights on now

I can see the manager looking around

What will happen to me if I’m found?

I’m sneaking by as quiet as a I can

Keeping an eye out for the man

I’m almost to the door, freedom awaits

But it isn’t meant to be my fate

The man grabs my wrist and holds on tight

He demands to know if I was here all night

I stutter and cry and beg to leave

I think he’s annoyed or maybe he has pity

He lets me go and I run to my car

I begin to drive with the door still ajar

I will never try something this dumb again

Not even to impress my friends
