Lyrics
The coffee's all gone
The coffee has run out
And my eyes burn like fire
Feeling intense and painful burning sensation in the eyes
It's way past the hour
It's late into the night
When most folks retire
Typically the time when people go to bed
You told me you'd call me
Expecting a call from someone
But you haven't yet
The expected call hasn't come yet
And I'm down to my last cigarette
Feeling lonely and at a low point, down to the last cigarette
I'm down to my last cigarette
Expressing desperation, emphasizing the last cigarette
For I know what made you forget
Aware that something caused the person to forget
You're sill out there somewhere
The person is still out there, possibly with someone new
With someone you met
Meeting someone new has caused the forgetfulness
And I'm down to my last cigarette
Reiterating the emotional state, down to the last cigarette
I can't leave this room
Feeling unable to leave, anticipating the call
You might call while I'm gone
Fear of missing the call if away
The minutes seem like hours
Time passing slowly, waiting for dawn
Its soon will be dawn
Suggesting a long and difficult night
And on top of all
Adding to the emotional burden, tears, and regrets
Of my tears and regrets
Emphasizing the emotional distress
I'm down to my last cigarette
Repeating the feeling of being down to the last cigarette
I'm down to my last cigarette
Reiterating the desperate situation, down to the last cigarette
And I'm trying so hard to forget
Trying hard to move on but still struggling with the situation
But you're still out there somewhere
Emphasizing the person's continued presence in someone else's life
With someone you met
Reiterating the impact of meeting someone new
And I'm down to my last cigarette
Expressing ongoing emotional struggle, down to the last cigarette
Oh I'm down to my last cigarette
Repeating the dire situation of being down to the last cigarette
