Coffee on Your Sleeve

**Coffee on Your Sleeve** [Intro: short bass and guitar hook] [Verse 1] You bump the counter. My coffee jumps. A brown comma runs down your cuff. I grab a napkin. You lift your arm. “Five-dollar coffee. Ten-dollar art.” [Chorus] Coffee on your sleeve. You grin at me. Coffee on your sleeve. We miss the green. Two cups. One crooked lid. Tell me where you’ve been. [Verse 2] You draw your street on a paper bag. I fold it wrong. You take it back. Your place. My corner. Two blocks apart. You add an arrow. I add a star. [Chorus] Coffee on your sleeve. You grin at me. Coffee on your sleeve. We miss the green. Two cups. One crooked lid. Tell me where you’ve been. [Instrumental Break: playful bass and guitar exchange, 8 bars] [Bridge: Rhodes and close vocal] Your phone keeps buzzing. You turn it down. I ask your name. You spell it out. [Final Chorus: wider melody, Nora’s own harmonies] Coffee on your sleeve. You grin at me. Coffee on your sleeve. We miss the green. Two cups. One crooked lid. Tell me where you’ve been. [Outro: bass, Rhodes, soft vocal] You check your sleeve. Then look at me. ```
