Coffee and Cigarettes
Your kiss tasted just like coffee,
It gave me such a rush.
But now I just crash and burn,
I guess I drank too much.
You smell just like the cigarettes,
That I once loved to smoke.
I breathed you into my lungs,
Until I coughed or choked.
Those were the best years of my life,
But I pushed you away.
I lost what I should have held close,
I’ve got nothing to say.
I’ll keep your taste behind my teeth,
And I’ll hide it there, underneath.
Your scent is hung upon all of my things,
Including the guitar with broken strings.
You are the original caffeine,
And Starbucks always meant nothing.
Promise me that you won’t ever go,
‘Cause I don’t want to chew tobacco.
Why’d I have to be idiotic,
And never let you in?
I shouldn’t have cut us so short,
Before we could begin.
I burned the bridge that we had built,
And let fear close my eyes.
You saw beyond the mask I wore,
And tore down my disguise.
It should have been much easier,
To let you see the truth.
But I guess it’s what you could call,
“The troubles of our youth.”
I’ll keep your taste behind my teeth,
And I’ll hide it there, underneath.
Your scent is hung upon all of my things,
Including the guitar with broken strings.
You are the original caffeine,
And Starbucks always meant nothing.
Promise me that you won’t ever go,
‘Cause I don’t want to chew tobacco.
I don’t want to be the fool that says,
“My only love is gone.”
I’ll regret the things I never said,
As I sing this song.
I’ll keep your taste behind my teeth,
And I’ll hide it there, underneath.
Your scent is hung upon all of my things,
Including the guitar with broken strings.
You are the original caffeine,
And Starbucks always meant nothing.
Promise me that you won’t ever go,
‘Cause I don’t want to chew tobacco.
I lost what I should have held close,
I don’t know what to say.
If it helps I always loved you,
Just promise me you’ll stay.
I can still taste you on my tongue,
And I still feel you in my lungs.
You were the right to all my wrongs,
And I'll sing this song.
I’ll keep your taste behind my teeth,
And I’ll hide it there, underneath.
