Coffee Lyrics

I lost a lot of friends to a pretty voice
I've got to leave town and I got no choice
I've gotta move along and hold my breath
I've got to break through before my heart goes dead

You had a choice to make so you left me there
It took about a year but I don't care
I'll live out of this suitcase
I'm crashing at your place

Cause all I have are 4 wheels and a backpack
All I have are these bleeding scars for you to laugh at

I guess I'm a loser if that's what you think
I can't go out in public without having a drink
I fought through this shit for too long and now I'm done
I swear I'll pack up my shit and I'm gone

Cause all I have are 4 wheels and a backpack
All I have are these bleeding scars for you to laugh at

I went back home
I met up with her for coffee on the Post Road
I know she won't put herself up on a shelf
collecting dust for me all alone

Senior year, lighthouse night, and failure
Coffee, dreams of you and me, paradise

Cause all we have are 4 wheels and a backpack
All we have are these bleeding scars for you to laugh at

Excuse Me For Being A Businessman

I lost a lot of friends to a pretty voice
I've got to leave town and I got no choice
I've gotta move along and hold my breath
I've got to break through before my heart goes dead

You had a choice to make so you left me there
It took about a year but I don't care
I'll live out of this suitcase
I'm crashing at your place

Cause all I have are 4 wheels and a backpack
All I have are these bleeding scars for you to laugh at

I guess I'm a loser if that's what you think
I can't go out in public without having a drink
I fought through this shit for too long and now I'm done
I swear I'll pack up my shit and I'm gone

Cause all I have are 4 wheels and a backpack
All I have are these bleeding scars for you to laugh at

I went back home
I met up with her for coffee on the Post Road
I know she won't put herself up on a shelf
collecting dust for me all alone

Senior year, lighthouse night, and failure
Coffee, dreams of you and me, paradise

Cause all we have are 4 wheels and a backpack
All we have are these bleeding scars for you to laugh at

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
