[Verse 1]
Corner table
sun on my plate
Phone face down
I’m showin’ up late
Steam from the soup
fog on my glasses
Crackin’ that bread
like I’m breakin’ old habits

[Chorus]
This is my lunch jazz
slow sip, slow bite
Let the day drift
far from the fight
Half an hour
where the world moves past
I chew on a chorus
and I call it lunch jazz (oh yeah)

[Verse 2]
Emails waitin’
in a line like traffic
I stir my tea
makin’ patterns outta static
Laugh from the barista
rings like a cymbal
Tiny little solo
in a life so simple

[Chorus]
This is my lunch jazz
slow sip, slow bite
Let the clock melt
out of my sight
Half an hour
where the world moves past
I breathe in the rhythm
and I call it lunch jazz

[Bridge]
Maybe I stay
one song too long
Fork as a baton
conductin’ the calm
If they ask where I’ve been
I’ll just say I was
Lost in a break
between the buzz

[Chorus]
This is my lunch jazz
slow sip, slow bite
Napkin notes
on a day too tight
Half an hour
where the world moves past
I steal me a moment
and I call it lunch jazz (lunch jazz)
