Verse 1 It’s morning, I need silence I need coffee in my hand I need a little time to figure out Exactly where I am I need the cat to leave me alone Just for an hour or two I haven’t even met myself yet I sure ain’t ready for you Chorus I need a second cup of coffee And the silence that I asked for I need this brain fog to roll away Like waves from the shore I don’t wanna talk I don’t wanna think I just wanna sit right here And stare into my drink Why won’t this cat leave me alone? Why’s he staring at my face? Damn, why can’t I drink my coffee In a little bit of peace? Verse 2 The sun is coming through the window The world’s already moving fast Everybody’s got a question Everybody wants to ask But I’m still somewhere between dreaming And whatever comes next Trying to remember my own name Before I answer texts Chorus I need a second cup of coffee And the silence that I asked for I need this brain fog to roll away Like waves from the shore I don’t wanna talk I don’t wanna think I just wanna sit right here And stare into my drink Why won’t this cat leave me alone? Why’s he rubbing on my knees? Damn, why can’t I drink my coffee In a little bit of peace? Bridge Maybe he thinks he’s helping Maybe he’s got a plan Maybe he’s trying to save me From becoming a grumpy old man But buddy, give me twenty minutes That’s all I’m asking for Then we can discuss the universe And whatever cats are for Final Chorus I got my second cup of coffee And the fog is lifting slow The world don’t seem so complicated As it did an hour ago The cat jumps in my lap Like he knew what I’d need Guess peace was sitting right beside me Begging to be seen Yeah, the cat won’t leave me alone Maybe that’s okay ’Cause everybody needs somebody To wake ’em up each day
