[Verse 1] Swiped right on a filtered dream, another ghost in the machine Promising smiles and perfect lives, but it’s rarely what it seems Third date for her, second for me, both tired of the game She walked in like a late-night movie, Grace Kelly with a modern name [Pre-Chorus] Salt in my beard, black in her hair Fifteen years single, she still moved like she didn’t care Corporate suit, three-inch heels, eyes that cut right through Said “You make me feel safe” — damn, what’s a man supposed to do? [Chorus] We went from coffee to her couch in the blink of an afternoon From awkward first kiss to tangled sheets beneath the rising moon Two strangers trading loneliness like it was overdue She said “Thank you” when we finished — I said “Thank you too” Third time’s coffee, but we broke all the rules Dating apps and empty hearts, playing love like fools [Verse 2] She talked about the men who tried to use their power like a key Supervisors, exes, matches who just wanted her body I told her my disasters, the ghosters and the flakes The long-distance almost-love that never left the screen We lay there for an hour, skin to skin, no rush at all Then she made me dinner plans like we hadn’t crossed the line Next night in my hotel room, we did it all again Slow and sweet and desperate, like we might not get the chance [Chorus] We went from coffee to her couch in the blink of an afternoon From awkward first kiss to tangled sheets beneath the rising moon Two strangers trading loneliness like it was overdue She said “Thank you” when we finished — I said “Thank you too” Third time’s coffee, but we broke all the rules Dating apps and empty hearts, playing love like fools [Bridge] [half-time, more spoken-sung] Dating apps are cruel teachers, they teach you how to wait How to smile through disappointment, how to swallow hope and hate But every now and then you meet someone who feels like truth Even if it only lasts until she finds somebody new [Final Chorus] [full band, faster] Yeah we went from coffee to forever in a single afternoon Left the apps behind for a moment, underneath the harvest moon She’s got a new man in her contacts now, and I’m still swiping through But I’ll always keep that memory of me and you Third time’s coffee… turned into something true At least for one perfect weekend, me and you [Outro] [fading, gentle swing] Third time’s coffee… Yeah, I still remember you… Mmm, third time’s coffee…
