Coffee & Cigarettes

Lyrics

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
 Waiting for your response
 It burns slowly as a spirit
 Who knew you'd be so cold?
 You were only 17, falling 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, falling 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 turning the good girl crazy, that's like my strong suit
 'Cause every time we should be breaking up I'm right there on cue
 Like a pool stick with some bullshit 'bout what I'm going 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 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, falling 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
