lyrics

Every evening I thank the lord supreme
I sit down and eat I watch tv
scroll thru my phone, it’s an endless parade
Life is funny and life is vague

Now I’m shellshocked, [I had to kill] somebody
When I fought in the war as an understudy
To a secret agent and I just did much y part
Earned the Medal of Honor and a Purple Heart

<This lies not good enough
Its just something I’m making up
This life’s a coffee cup
Just time we’re filling up

I’m still kicking things around in my head
Still wearing the shirt I wore when we met
I need to go out for some atmosphere
What the hell am I saying here

This lies not good enough
Its just something I’m making up
This life’s a coffee cup-(woah woah)
Everyone is waking up

Oh taaaaaake me
Take me somewhere I can feel the air on my face
It hurts to feel so useless
After all I’ve done in my past, bad times never last

Times ticking, candy’s sticking
I’m stacking bricks and you’re picking up sticks
My life seems flat and pitiful
The last of the truly miserable

<This lies not good enough
Its just something I’m making up
This life’s a coffee cup (woah woah)
Just time we’re filling up

Oh taaaaaake me
Take me somewhere I can feel the warm sun on my face
My feet in the wet sand
I want to hear the songs
I want to hear them sung
Let’s go to the mountains
Let’s go to the coast
Let’s love it or leave it
Let’s dig it the most
But we better do it soon
if we do it at all
I’ll just let you make the call
….It’s too hot right now better wait till the fall
