Nod Over Coffee

Oh-oh-oh

All the unsaid words that I might be thinking, uh-huh
All the little signs that I might give you, uh-huh
Well, they would not be enough
Would not be enough

So we nod over coffee and say goodbye
Smile over coffee and turn to go
We know this drill and we do it well
We love it, we hate it—ain't that life?
Oh, oh, ain't that the curse of the second hand?
Oh, oh, ain't that the way of the hour and the day?
Yeah, yeah

If I weren't so afraid and alone, uh-huh
They might pay me what I am worth, uh-huh
But it would not be enough
You deserve better

So we nod over coffee and say goodbye
Do whatever has to be done again today
Get in that traffic and the time will fly
Look up at the sun and pray for rain
Oh, ain't that the curse of the second hand?
Oh, oh, ain't that the way of the hour and the day?
Yeah, yeah

Oh (Oh), damn the time, it cannot hold back, uh-huh
The dust that will surely come out these bones, uh-huh
And I will not have loved enough
Could not have loved enough

If we could see you with wiser eyes, uh-huh
All it is good and is so sad and so true, uh-huh
Still it would not be enough
Never be enough

So we nod over coffee and say goodbye
Bolt the door, it's time to go
Out in the car with the radio on
Roll down the window and blow the horn

Oh, ain't that the curse of the second hand?
Oh, oh, ain't that the way of the hour and the day?
(Hour and the day, yeah, yeah)
Oh, ain't that the curse of the second hand?
Oh, ain't that the way of the hour and the day?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ain't that the curse of the second hand?
(Yeah) Ain't that the curse of the second hand?
Oh, oh, ain't that the curse?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
