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 17, 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 17, 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've 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 17, 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 17, 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
