Eight AM and the sunlight hits the floor But it don't feel like a welcome anymore The kettle's whistling a tune I used to know While I watch the steam just evaporate and go You're sitting there, staring at your phone In a room of two, I've never felt so alone The sugar's on the counter, the cream is in the glass Watching another quiet minute pass

We used to talk until the sun came up for air Now we're just two shadows sitting in a chair The silence is a mountain we don't want to climb And we're just killing spirit, killing time

It's just cold coffee on a Tuesday morning No lightning flash, no thunder, and no warning Just the bitter taste of what we let go wrong In a house that doesn't feel like it belongs We're sipping on the remains of a fire Drowning in the ghost of our desire It's just cold coffee, baby, that's all

Remember when the black brew used to burn? Back when we had so many things to learn Now I'm reading the bottom of the cup Searching for a reason not to just give up Your eyes are like a city with the power out Every word we say is wrapped in heavy doubt We're going through the motions, playing our part With a cold caffeine winter in the heart

It's just cold coffee on a Tuesday morning No lightning flash, no thunder, and no warning Just the bitter taste of what we let go wrong In a house that doesn't feel like it belongs We're sipping on the remains of a fire Drowning in the ghost of our desire It's just cold coffee, baby, that's all

Maybe we could pour it out and start again Maybe we could find the lovers in the friends But the pot is empty and the water's gone cold And I'm getting tired of doing what I'm told! Yeah, I'm tired of the bitter! I'm tired of the gray! I'm tired of watching us just fade away!

It's just cold coffee on a Tuesday morning No lightning flash, no thunder, and no warning Just the bitter taste of what we let go wrong In a house that doesn't feel like it belongs We're sipping on the remains of a fire Drowning in the ghost of our desire It's just cold coffee... Oh, it's just cold coffee, baby.

...drink it down. ...before it's gone
