lyrics

He passes by my office and says, “I know how you feel.
I lost my wife too.
Maybe after work we should grab a meal
With a drink or two.”
But I’m a high-up exec
So I make up some stupid lie
What if they all saw me
With the mailroom guy

It’s hard just to making into work at 9
He’s there two hours before
He knocks but I’m on a conference call
So he leaves the mail at my door
And he invites me for Thanksgiving
With fixings and a pie
Instead it’s Whole Foods then a movie
Not the mailroom guy

Out of pity, I once went with him
To a basketball game
But if you put a gun to my head
I couldn’t tell you his name

My biggest fear is that I'll die alone
With no one by my side
The funeral will be an empty room
And not a tear will be cried
But someone will miss me when I’m gone
He’ll shuffle pass my office and sigh
As the day begins at the break of dawn
For the mailroom guy
He’s just the mailroom guy
