Coffee And Cigarettes

It was the summer before our senior year

I was packing up my life in an Econoline

While she was trying dresses on and playing house

Standing in the drive to watch me backing 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 as friends

So many things I can't believe

Well I can't believe we were seventeen, we were seventeen

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

Guess when you lose someone you find out who you are

Now I'm rolled up, broken in and moving along, I'm moving 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 stamping postcards, a summer song

I think about her when the television's on

I went back for the reunion and we reminicsed

She had all sensible shoes and said

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

And then a breah, 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 seventeen, we were seventeen

And now I'm lost at the motel, I'm lost in the bar

And looking back at, and looking back at her is still the hardest part

Gotta let go, let go, start moving along, moving along

And 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
