coffee
Anthony Melillo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tonight?s just one more slip were blaming on the sun again,
And again, and again.
And I know all that?s left to say we?ve said it all before
Just different ways the same mistakes,
Caress our lips from mine to yours
Into a kiss were never sure just what we?ve done.
As your waist attacks my finger tips
And I know, I know, that you?re loving it.
You say no, but you know, that you?re loving it.
She kissed me back and grabbed my wrist
She put in places I just kissed and I know,
I know this is what I missed and you know,
You know I?m just one more on your list.
You are forbidden just like fruit,
Tempting at nicotine no patch or gum can cure your gravity.
It pulls me. And I?ll wait anticipation kills,
Vibrations numb my legs I grab it quick just to hear you say
?Let?s find a bridge and watch the stars, lay back on the hood of your car,
And freeze tonight.?
And the taste of coffee draws your lips
As your waist attacks my finger tips
And I know, I know, that you?re loving it.
You say no, but you know, that you?re loving it.
She kissed me back and grabbed my wrist
She put in places I just kissed and I know,
I know this is what I missed and you know,
You know I?m just one more on your list.
And the serums made from summer love
Have made there way into my lungs your gone, you?re gone.
I try and try to catch my breath
But the scent you left in my chest is too strong, go. Yeah.
And the taste of coffee draws your lips
As your waist attacks my finger tips
And I know, I know, that you?re loving it.
You say no, but you know, that you?re loving it.
She kissed me back and grabbed my wrist
She put in places I just kissed and I know,
I know this is what I missed and you know,
You know I?m just one more yeah.
And the taste of coffee draws your lips
As your waist attacks my finger tips
And I know, I know, that you?re loving it.
You say no, but you know, that you?re loving it.
She kissed me back and grabbed my wrist
She put in places I just kissed and I know,
I know this is what I missed and you know,
You know I?m just one more on your list.
