Coffee and Cigarettes

It was the summer before our senior year

I was packin' up my life in an Econoline

While she was tryin' dresses on and playin' house

Standin' in the drive to watch me backin' out

I got home before September starts to catch a chill

We sat and talked about how much we both have changed

I've been a bad boy, too late to go back then

Maybe someday we can end up friends, and there's

So many things I can't believe, well I can't believe

We were 17, we were 17

And now I'm lost at the drive-in, lost in the car

Guess when you lose someone, you find out who you are

And I'm rolled up, broken in and movin' along, I'm movin' along

But all I got left is coffee and cigarettes

Mixtapes on old cassettes

And a picture that you put in a letter

You were the best

The best that I ever had, baby, you got me bad

You always said that you would wait forever

And now you're gone, gone

Gone, gone

Gone, gone, gone

You're gone

I heard she met someone in college, looks a bit like me

Moved back to Boston for her law degree

While I was stampin' postcards, a summer song

I think about her when the television's on

I went back for the reunion and we reminisced

She had on sensible shoes and said

It's good to see you're still the guy I used to know

And then a breath

And a sideways hug that I could not forget, and there's

So many things I can't believe, well I can't believe

We were 17, we were 17

Now I'm lost at the motel, lost at the bar

And lookin' back at her is still the hardest part

Gotta let go, let go

Start movin' along, movin' along

'Cause all I got left is coffee and cigarettes

Mixtapes on old cassettes

And a picture that you put in a letter

You were the best

The best that I ever had, baby, you got me bad

You always said that you would wait forever

And now you're gone, gone

Gone, gone

Gone, gone, gone

You're gone

And now you're gone, gone

Gone, gone

Gone, gone, gone

You're gone

And all I got left is coffee and cigarettes

Coffee and cigarettes

Coffee and cigarettes

Coffee and cigarettes
