coffee & cigarettes
Coffee and cigarettes Remind me of you, babe You pick me up in your old Buick station wagon With the radio broke I roll the window up You turn the AC on Who knew you'd be so cold? Newports burnin' on our lips A shootout in the background as I told you that I love you A gunshot to the heart couldn't have hit me as hard as you did As hard as you did, no Ash my cigarette Waitin' for your response It burns slowly as a spirit Who knew you'd be so bold?  You were only seventeen, fallin' in love with everything Except for me, except for me, except for me These cigarettes is burnin' like a dream And all this money heals everything Except for me, except for me, except for me  We wrote our names beneath the bridge To be sure that the city never forgot us Who woulda known you'd be so quick to forget about me I guess that's memory loss I wish you loved me as much as weed Shit, even half as much as weed I know you love to smoke Marlboro 27s were your favorite Only thing you loved more was your little sister I hope she never grows up to be as fucked up as you did Fucked up as you did, oh Light my cigarette like we did when we were young Who knew we'd grow so old?  You were only seventeen, fallin' in love with everything Except for me, except for me, except for me These cigarettes is burnin' like a dream And all this money heals everything Except for me, except for me, except for me  I recently realized I'm a hopeless romantic I ask a lot of questions, but I'm not open to answers And all of my girlfriends just fall into the same old patterns Like sudoku puzzles we cross words, spoken in anger I must be the best at turnin' the good girl crazy, that's like my strong suit 'Cause every time we should be breakin' up I'm right there on cue Like a pool stick with some bullshit 'bout what I'm goin' through You should have an amber alert for me, I swear they should have warned you I mean, young rap god, what do you expect from me? And women are like a greatest hits album, they get the best of me I give 'em my all and then forget to call the next morning I used to play my tape in the passenger while she bend corners She was only seventeen, first girl that broke my heart Now I think I take it out on every girl I take out on Dinner dates, to somewhere nice to sit like Rosa Parks Guess that's just the way it is, it all ends the way it starts  You were only seventeen, fallin' in love with everything Except for me, except for me, except for me These cigarettes is burnin' like a dream And all this money heals everything Except for me, except for me, except for me
