**[VERSE 1]** Four creamers in a coffee One cinnamon roll Some brand of cigarettes I still don’t fucking know I stood there reading boxes Like I’d never seen a store She laughed and tried to help me That’s literally all it took She’s seventy-two Birthday two weeks ago Likes the caramel ones Now I fucking know And all I did was listen For maybe five damn minutes So somebody explain to me Why that feels fucking radical **[PRE-CHORUS]** I didn’t save a life I didn’t change the world I bought some fucking coffee For somebody’s grandma, girl So why the fuck Why the fuck Why the fuck Was that unusual? **[CHORUS]** ONE FUCKING OUNCE OF DECENCY THAT’S ALL IT TOOK TO MEET SOMEBODY Four creamers, one cinnamon roll Wrong fucking cigarettes — now I know WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK HAPPENED TO US? When did looking at somebody Become too fucking much? I didn’t do a goddamn thing That should deserve applause I treated her like she was here **BECAUSE SHE FUCKING WAS** **[VERSE 2]** How many people walked around her? How many stared straight through? How many had somewhere important They just *had* to get to? Everybody’s late Everybody’s tired Everybody’s got a reason Everybody’s occupied Yeah, me too I got shit to do But I can lose five minutes What the fuck happened to you? Because now I know her birthday Now I know what coffee means Not some grand fucking gesture Just being fucking seen **[PRE-CHORUS]** No cameras No lesson No fucking sainthood Just “What do you want?” Like anybody should So why the fuck Why the fuck Why the fuck Was that unusual? **[CHORUS]** ONE FUCKING OUNCE OF DECENCY THAT’S ALL IT TOOK TO MEET SOMEBODY Four creamers, one cinnamon roll Wrong fucking cigarettes — now I know WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK HAPPENED TO US? When did looking at somebody Become too fucking much? I didn’t do a goddamn thing That should deserve applause I treated her like she was here **BECAUSE SHE FUCKING WAS** **[BRIDGE]** Maybe that’s what’s killing me It was so fucking easy Not painless Not profound Not a movement Not a sound I just stopped She talked I listened That’s it That’s the whole fucking story And somehow that’s the problem **[BREAKDOWN]** FOUR CREAMERS ONE CINNAMON ROLL WRONG CIGARETTES AND NOW I KNOW SHE WAS HERE THE WHOLE FUCKING TIME **[FINAL CHORUS]** ONE FUCKING OUNCE OF DECENCY THAT’S ALL IT TOOK TO MEET SOMEBODY And I can’t get over how small that is I can’t get over how hard we made it WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK HAPPENED TO US? How’d we build a whole damn world Where caring costs too much? Don’t call me good Don’t call me kind Don’t make me special for having eyes Four creamers One cinnamon roll She wanted something simple **And somebody should’ve fucking asked.**
