I'll put my favorite white dress on
And my 2 dollar shoes
Tie my hair up the way you like
Make you see that I'm still in love with you…
I'll play your favorite records
Make you some homemade coffee cake
Let you win me in a hand of poker
Convince you…
…to never want to go away
I'll leave you notes in the morning
And get you ready for your day
Kiss your lips before you leave me
Make you…

Bugging everybody here
That I can get to stop and listen
Trying hard to do all the things
I told my mom and dad that I was going to do
Can't you hear the music ringing...

Hey!
We was born in Brooklyn, stand up
I see you, red lipstick
Aha skinny jeans and it's beanie season
Coffee cups, bottom's up…
…shades hide the party I had at my spot last night
At 4: 30 make it to Grace Jones day I feel so fly
Oho, the coffee run I'm so…
…rich hipster, the richness lives in here
Point to your heart
Homemade T-shirt, tattoos, Converse, uniform
Yet not the norm

A young boy busts his dad's Hills Hoist, using it as a swing
Kills a magpie in the backyard with a homemade ging
Steals chlorine…
…from the neighbour's swimming pool
Puts it in a coffee jar and pours brake fluid in
Makes a pipe bomb using match heads…
…kid that held him up
He dies laying in the street
The driver don't make too much fuss
He smokes a ciggie with the cops
The…

…In deep south
When I was growing up
Looking back on sweetness
Looking back on the rough
The sun going down
Crickets…
…sidewalk
Outside playing
Barefoot in the street
Tar will be sticking
To the bottom of my feet
Running and chasing after
The ice cream wagon…
Mama, can I have a quarter
So I can get me one
On a good day, Mama'd make us
Sweet coffee milk
On bad day's she'd cuss
When…

It used to be a motel
Now they serve biscuits and t-shirts
I bring my own tea bag
I don't trust the coffee
But the…

I'd make you eat grits and the red-eyed gravy
I'd make you sit down with the southern ladies and
their blue pantsuits
I'd…
…talk about Jesus
Talk about the weather
Watch you squirm as I told them we were married with two girls
I'd say you were in trucking
And I was a teacher
In…

…remember the last time I went out
Why is everyone obsessed with animal crossing right now
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been staying up till…
…coffee
Go get a burger
I'm gonna kiss my mom and hug someone the second that this thing is done
I miss my friends
Yeah…
…and laugh
When I realize that's the most human contact I made
I'm tired of being alone
It sucks at home
I had my birthday in…

…and drives a Rover
how dose he do 2 things at once,
drive in his car, and drink at the same time.
your such a dodgy teacher, Robin
yea your…
…such a dodgy teacher, Stoney
listens to Pauley's MP3 in class. oohh oohh oohh
I mean yeah,

that he can not get drunk one…

I mean yeah,

that his flask contains homemade coffee.

even though he jus ova 40.
