Coffee
Roses & Revolutions Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're on a break
Four words I thought I'd never say
I love you
Three words that will always be true
I'm confused
Two minutes hovering over the send button
I don't want to lose you
Got a lot of

Things on your mind and you're
Missing me all the time
That look in your honey brown eyes
When I told you I had doubts
It'll haunt me for the rest of my life
Cuz I give a little
And I let you give too much
3000 miles is too far apart
And I won't lie to you, I
Would never want to
So I had to break your heart
Let's have
Coffee in September and
Maybe I won't remember why I left
Let's have
A heart-to-heart to see if we're
Really meant to be
Let's have
Coffee in September and
Between sips we'll see if
You could ever
Ever forgive me
If you'd ever
To be honest
I'm drowning without you
My mind is on this island
And the tide is coming in
I want to tell you I love you forever
But maybe we gotta be apart before we can be together
Cuz I give a little
And I let you give too much
3000 miles is too far apart
And I won't lie to you, I
Would never want to
So I had to break your heart
Let's have
Coffee in September and
Maybe I won't remember why I left
Let's have
A heart-to-heart to see if we're
Really meant to be
Let's have
Coffee in September and
Between sips we'll see if
You could ever

Ever forgive me
If you'd ever
