A Coffee Ballad

[Verse 1] Frosty mug of cherries and honey Condensation spelling out your name Steam from my cup curls up so slowly Like the words I never say [Chorus] You’re my morning You’re my maybe Bittersweet and burning slow In this coffee ballad You still haunt me Every sip says “don’t let go” Cherries on my tongue Honey on my sleeve I stir your memory and watch it leave [Verse 2] Sun sneaks in through crooked blinds Dust dancing over porcelain Your lipstick print on yesterday’s napkin Keeps asking when Asking when [Chorus] You’re my morning You’re my maybe Bittersweet and burning slow In this coffee ballad You still haunt me Every sip says “don’t let go” Cherries on my tongue Honey on my sleeve I stir your memory and watch it leave [Bridge] I pour a little extra Just to feel you near (oh) Drop another cherry in Pretend that you’ll appear Honey at the bottom Thicker than the truth I’m drinking what we were And what I put you through [Chorus] You’re my morning You’re my maybe Bittersweet and burning slow In this coffee ballad You still haunt me Every sip says “don’t let go” Cherries on my tongue Honey on my sleeve I stir your name again And watch it leave
