By The Time You've Finished Your Coffee

You're sipping all your coffee, pouring up some wine

Saying: You can be my baby - if I gave you some time

Moving so fast but we could slow it down

I think I wanna hold ya but I'm not sure I'm allowed

'Cause you are gold to me

A piece of art to me

The sky is turning purple

Then orange, then pink and yellow

and then a darker shade of blue

I can see a darker shade of you

Sitting right beside me, I

wish I could hear your silence

I wish you were here with me

You're sipping on your coffee, fading away

I can give you some time if you promise that you'll stay

But I sit there saying nothing just watching your hands

I wish that I could hold them but I'm not sure I can

But you still are gold to me

Baby

Piece of art to me

But if you close your eyes

Do you see me? Do you hear me?

When you're putting on your headphones

Do you feel my hands even when I'm not there

'Cause I can hear you, breathing, loud and clear

Even though you're not here

Even though you're not near

Do you even care?

About me

Sipping on your coffee

I'm finishing my wine

I wish that time was solid so I could give it to you now

That we could be happy

I wouldn't have to wait

I wish that I was gold to you

But it might be too late

Please

It might be too late (too late, too late)

Too late

Because the sun is going down

And all our candles are burned out

'Cause the sun is going down

And all our candles are burned out

Because the sun is going down

And all our candles are burned out. are burned out

Are burned

Out
