Lyrics
Woke up this morning
Reflecting on waking up in the morning.
Couldn't find my face
Feeling disoriented or lost.
Guess you finally got your way
Acknowledging that the other person has achieved their desired outcome.
You said that you don't want to see me
Quoting the partner expressing a desire not to see each other.
You wish that I didn't breathe
Partner wishing for the speaker's absence.
Don't want to hear what I've got to say
Expressing a reluctance to listen to the speaker's perspective.
You just want to up and leave
Indicating the partner's desire to leave abruptly.
Won't you come sit with me
Inviting the partner to sit down and talk.
We don't have to fight
Proposing a peaceful resolution without conflict.
Stay for a cup of coffee, now, and
Suggesting a symbolic act of reconciliation with a cup of coffee.
It'll be alright
Reassuring that everything will be fine.
It'll be alright
Repeating the assurance that things will be alright.
You rolled your eyes at me
Noting a dismissive or indifferent reaction from the partner.
And you sighed and shrugged
Describing a nonchalant response with eye-rolling and sighing.
Said one cup of coffee never hurt anyone
Quoting the partner downplaying the significance of a cup of coffee.
So we set the date and time and
Agreeing to a specific meeting time for coffee.
I braved the cold
Enduring a wait in the cold for the partner who doesn't show up.
Waited two more hours before I realized that you wouldn't show
Realizing the partner's absence after waiting for two hours.
Before I realized that you wouldn't show
Repeating the realization of being stood up.
Won't you come sit with me
Reiterating the invitation to talk and reconcile.
We don't have to fight
Encouraging the partner to avoid conflict.
Stay for a cup of coffee, now, and
Repeating the symbolic gesture of having coffee for resolution.
It'll be alright
Reaffirming that everything will be alright.
I can't just fix things
Acknowledging the inability to fix things easily.
It doesn't work that way
Stating that solutions are not straightforward.
Stay for a cup of coffee
Extending the invitation to talk over coffee.
We can talk it out, what do you say
Asking for a conversation to resolve issues.
We can talk it out, what do you say
Repeating the invitation to talk it out.
Won't you come sit with me
Reiterating the request to sit down and talk.
We don't have to fight
Encouraging a peaceful resolution without conflict.
Stay for a cup of coffee, now, and
Repeating the symbolic act of having coffee for resolution.
It'll be alright
Reassuring that everything will be alright.
I can't just fix things
Acknowledging the difficulty in fixing things.
It doesn't work that way
Emphasizing the complexity of problem-solving.
Stay for a cup of coffee
Persisting in the invitation to talk over coffee.
We can talk it out, what do you say
Asking for a conversation to resolve issues.
We can talk it out, what do you say
Repeating the invitation to talk it out.
We can talk it out, what do you say
Continuing to suggest a peaceful conversation.
We can talk it out, what do you say
Persisting in the request for dialogue.
We went our separate ways, then
Recalling the separation from the partner.
One night you called me up
Receiving a call from the partner to meet for coffee.
Said let's meet for coffee
Considering the proposal to meet.
I said
Expressing reluctance or rejection.
Love, you're out of luck
Indicating that luck is not on the partner's side in seeking love.
