Verse 1 Midnight in a store I don't know, Cereal box and nowhere to go, Then a laugh rings out, I'd know it anywhere, Catches at the end like it's caught unaware. Ten years gone like a county mile, Now she's standing there with that same shy smile. Pre-Chorus "Where'd you land?" "How you been?" Both of us checking for a ring again, Nobody says how it came undone, Just two old flames and a ten-year run. Chorus She says, "Let's get coffee," quarter to one, Laughs and says, "Decaf, I'm not that young!" Put the cereal back on the shelf, Thought I'd lost her, found myself. Ten years gone but my heart don't care, Still ridin' shotgun, wind in her hair. Verse 2 Her basket's light and mine is bare, No rings on either hand, we both looked there, Parking lot lights buzzing bright, Every wrong turn led me here tonight. Chorus She says, "Let's get coffee," quarter to one, Laughs and says, "Decaf, I'm not that young!" Put the cereal back on the shelf, Thought I'd lost her, found myself. Ten years gone but my heart don't care, Still ridin' shotgun, wind in her hair. Bridge (drums and guitar only, then build) Maybe it's late, maybe it's fate, Maybe it's two fools staying up too late, But I heard that laugh and I knew somehow, What I lost back then, I might find now. Final Chorus (key up a step) So let's get coffee, quarter to one, Tell me everything, we've just begun, Put the cereal back on the shelf, Thought I'd lost her, found myself. Ten years gone and I don't care, Follow that laugh anywhere. Outro Decaf at midnight... Never tasted so good.
