Leftover Coffee

I left the burner on
Ran through the stop sign again
A sign that something's wrong
That I'm ignoring it
I'm scared to pay for this
I'm stealing borrowed time
I can't afford to quit
So I pretend I'm fine

I could slow it down
But I'm okay for now

There's leftover coffee
There's friends I'm not calling
My engine's been starting, but just barely
And that's gotta count for something
Unfinished
A sink full of dishes
They say I'll miss it when I'm not in it
But they're waking up with all I've been wanting
And I'm still drinking leftover coffee

It's on the TV set
They're selling peace of mind
And it could be mine
For twenty-nine ninety-nine
What I would do for that
To have a little slice of the good life
Instead, I'm having frozen dinner every night

And leftover coffee
There's friends I'm not calling
My engine's been starting, but just barely
And that's gotta count for something
Unfinished
A sink full of dishes
They say I'll miss it when I'm not in it
But they're waking up with all I've been wanting
And I'm still drinking leftover coffee

Cream and sugar bittersweet
Leftover coffee
Half-full, half-empty, guess I'll drink

Da-da-da-da, da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da

There's leftover coffee
There's friends I'm not calling
My engine's been starting, but just barely
And that's gotta count for something
Unfinished
A sink full of dishes
They say I'll miss it when I'm not in it
They're waking up with all I've been wanting
And I'm still drinking leftover coffee

Leftover coffee, yeah
Da-da-da-da, ah
Da-da-da-da, ah
