You have that look of practiced calm.
I see the smile you're holding back.
I let my fingers brush your palm,
And there it is: the first small crack.
You lean a little closer now.
I like the warmth behind your eyes.
You ask me what I'm smiling at.
I say, "The part you can't disguise."
I've learned how much a name can hide.
How much a voice can leave unsaid.
With you, I set that world aside
And let you read my heart instead.
Coffee, just for two.
Take your time with me.
Let the morning come and find us
Where we both were meant to be.
Coffee, just for two.
Leave the world outside.
All the warmth I keep from showing
Comes alive here by your side.
You turn my hand to catch the light.
A little gold, a life to share.
I let you hold tomorrow tight.
You have my word. I'll meet you there.
Your thumb keeps time against my palm.
My breath forgets its practiced pace.
You make a mess of all my calm
And draw that smile across my face.
I've learned how much a name can hide.
How much a voice can leave unsaid.
With you, I set that world aside
And let you read my heart instead.
Coffee, just for two.
Take your time with me.
Let the morning come and find us
Where we both were meant to be.
Coffee, just for two.
Leave the world outside.
All the warmth I keep from showing
Comes alive here by your side.
Say yes again. I like the sound.
A future I can almost see.
So many roads; and now I've found
The one that brings you home to me.
Coffee, just for two.
Take your time with me.
Let the morning come and find us
Where we both were meant to be.
Coffee, just for two.
Leave the world outside.
All the warmth I keep from showing
Comes alive here by your side.
Coffee, just for two.
They take my arm and say my name.
Your hand slips out of mine.
