Coffee

I song to the music of "A Step You Can't Take Back" from the Begin Again Soundtrack

I was home on a Sunday

Waiting for the sun to rise

And as stood there in the doorway

I saw the light leave from your eyes

From across the town that sleeps

I heard you cry out her name

You take your coffee

With lots of sugar

You take your girls

The same way

There goes the girl with the flowers

Tied up in her hair

She doesn't walk much on sunshine

Seems she walks more now on air

Her smiles an elixir to heal all of the pain

She dances like the forest

Right before the rain

And she doesn't want a boyfriend

She just wants more bourbon and wine

And she doesn't feel the same about you boy

She doesn't want to change your mind

So I go down to my mailbox

And read today's headline

I can almost feel your breath

As it speeds up when she drives by

You call her on the phone

And hear eight rings

Before all voices mellow

And you get the answering machine

There goes the girl with the flowers

Tied up in her hair

She doesn't walk much on sunshine

Seems she walks more now on air

Her smiles an elixir to heal all of the pain

She dances like the forest

Right before the rain

And she doesn't want a boyfriend

She just wants more bourbon and wine

And she doesn't feel the same about you boy

She doesn't want to change your mind

Now your lost in a crowd

Looking for the hint of a spark

Then you see her in the distance

But she doesn't know who you are

I decided to stop for gas

By some odd design

I saw you on the corner

With your heart grasped so tight

You told me of a girl

That was as bright as the day

Turns out she was a monster

Just with a pretty face

She was as bitter as a loser

And you didn't want to play

There goes the girl with the flowers

Tied up in her hair

She doesn't walk much on sunshine

Seems she walks more now on air

Her smiles an elixir to heal all of the pain

She dances like the forest

Right before the rain

And she doesn't want a boyfriend

She just wants more bourbon and wine

And she doesn't feel the same about you boy

She doesn't want to change your mind

From across the town that sleeps

I heard you cry out my name

You take your coffee

With lots of sugar

You take your girls

The same way
