Night Train in My Coffee

[Verse 1]

Half past two

cup gone cold

Newsprint hands

and a heart on hold

You left your scarf

on the second chair

Still swear I see you

in the smoky air (mm)

[Chorus]

You’re that night train in my coffee

running circles through my veins

Little tremor in the morning

that I just can’t quite explain

Every sip, I hear you laughing

every drop, your echo stays

You’re that night train in my coffee

and it rides me through the day (oh, it rides me through the day)

[Verse 2]

City hum

through the window glass

I stir your name

watch the sugar dance

Waitress asks

“Are you doing fine?”

I tip a smile

say I just need time

[Chorus]

You’re that night train in my coffee

running circles through my veins

Little tremor in the morning

that I just can’t quite explain

Every sip, I hear you laughing

every drop, your echo stays

You’re that night train in my coffee

and it rides me through the day

[Bridge]

Maybe I should change this place

find a brighter, quieter view

But the band hits that same old phrase

and it sounds a lot like you (yeah, it sounds a lot like you)

So I chase that crooked melody

around this chipped porcelain rim

Let it hurt, let it heal

let it fade, then begin again

[Chorus]

You’re that night train in my coffee

running circles through my veins

Little tremor in the morning

that I just can’t quite explain

Every sip, I hear you laughing

every drop, your echo stays

You’re that night train in my coffee

and I wouldn’t have it changed

You’re that night train in my coffee

and I love you just the same
