[Verse 1] Words Gathering On the rim of a chipped white mug Steam curling Like the questions we never ask enough You trace rings On the table where the sugar spilled I pretend I don’t notice how the room stands still [Chorus] Words Scattering Across the saucers and the tabletops In between laughter And the quiet when the story stops Long after You’ve walked out into the evening breeze I taste the coffee Taste of memories [Verse 2] You say “I should go” But your coat stays sleeping on the chair Old songs Low From a speaker humming in the air You look past me At the window At the passing day I stir cream Just to give my restless hands away [Chorus] Words Scattering Across the saucers and the tabletops In between laughter And the quiet when the story stops Long after You’ve walked out into the evening breeze I taste the coffee Taste of memories [Bridge] Every sip A little time machine Every drip Staining something clean Your ghost Sits across from me One more joke And then you leave [Chorus] Words Scattering Across the saucers and the tabletops In between laughter And the quiet when the story stops Long after You’ve walked out into the evening breeze I taste the coffee Taste of memories Just the coffee Taste of memories
