Cold Coffee In July

[Verse 1]

Cold coffee on the counter

You left in such a rush

Your jacket on the chair back

Phone charger gathering dust

The dent you made in my mattress

Still waits on your side

I talk to your shadow some mornings

Then blame it on sleep in my eyes

[Pre-Chorus]

You said “I’ll call you”

You said “I just need time”

Now all my little tomorrows

Are stuck on rewind

[Chorus]

But you don’t come back

You don’t come back

Just the echo of your key in the doorframe

I keep your name in my mouth like a secret

It tastes like salt and shame

I’m scrolling through our summer

Like it’s something I can buy

Still sipping on this cold coffee in July

Cold coffee in July (mm, in July)

[Verse 2]

Your toothbrush by the mirror

I move it

Then put it back

Like maybe you’ll read the message

In the way I leave your glass

All our plans on a crumpled receipt

Stuffed deep in my bag

Dinner for two at a place by the river

I canceled it

Then took a cab

[Pre-Chorus]

I sit at the window

Counting red tail-lights

Every stranger with your shoulders

Trips my mind

[Chorus]

But you don’t come back

You don’t come back

Just the echo of your key in the doorframe

I keep your name in my mouth like a secret

It tastes like salt and shame

I’m scrolling through our summer

Like it’s something I can try

To re-order

But it’s

Cold coffee in July

Cold coffee in July (oh, July)

[Bridge]

Maybe you’re out there laughing

At some joke I’ll never hear

Maybe I’m the ghost that haunts you

Or I just disappear

I keep stirring what’s already bitter

Hoping it turns sweet

Still saving that side of the bed

Like you’re saving a seat (hey)

[Chorus]

But you don’t come back

You don’t come back

Just the echo of your key in the doorframe

I keep your name in my mouth like a secret

It tastes like salt and shame

I’m scrolling through our summer

Till the colors start to die

Heart racing

Hands shaking

Over cold coffee in July

Just me and this cold coffee in July (oh-oh)

Cold coffee in July
