[Intro]

One buzz across the desk
Heads lift before it stops
Someone calls from two rows back
“Blink, eleven-oh-seven”

[Verse 1]

Eleven-oh-seven on my screen
I check where Current stands
Current's update isn't live
Pen already in my hand
Ben looks up above his coffee
Like he never heard the call
I write Blink beside the minute
Underline it once

[Chorus]

Blink at eleven-oh-seven
There it is, write it down
Blink at eleven-oh-seven
Heads turn at the sound
Check the page, note the minute
See when Current's update lands
Blink at eleven-oh-seven
Now the room is keeping track

[Verse 2]

I add a comparison column
Blink left, Current right
No red arrows, no ranking
Just the times in black and white
Current lands a little later
I record the response time
Ben says, “Please don't name the column”
Still he reads it line by line

[Chorus]

Blink at eleven-oh-seven
There it is, write it down
Blink at eleven-oh-seven
Heads turn at the sound
Check the page, note the minute
See when Current's update lands
Blink at eleven-oh-seven
Now the room is keeping track

[Break]

[Verse 3]

After lunch another vibration
“Blink at twelve-oh-forty-three”
Before I even reach my pen
Three heads turn and look at me
Later someone calls another
From the far end of the floor
By the fourth, nobody asks
What the extra column's for

[Bridge]

I thought I was just measuring
A pattern in the day
Now every buzz brings heads around
Every glance comes back my way
No memo made it official
No one gave the sign
We just started calling minutes
We just started keeping time

[Final Chorus]

Blink at eleven-oh-seven
There it is, write it down
Blink at eleven-oh-seven
Heads turn at the sound
Check the page, note the minute
Someone calls it from the floor
Blink at eleven-oh-seven
Now the room is keeping track

[Outro]

Pen down
Screen bright
One more refresh
One short buzz
Heads up
Again
