I Just Don't Want Coffee

Caedmon's Call · Caedmon's Call [1997]

Though I am small I've seen things far beyond these city walls

The land is flat and it rolls for miles

I don't know much I know I've many places yet to see

I know I've been here for a while



Wouldn't you know just when I thought I had this figured out

I'm back at my first day at school

Trying not to think too loud I raise my hand to scratch my head

I've no ideas of what to do



'Cause something's changed today

And what it is I just can't say

And if I don't seem okay, well I'm okay



[chorus]

So sue me, sue me, if I just don't want coffee tonight



Back in this coffee house where we just met a week ago

Now we've been friends since we were young

But all our conversations are hitting walls we can't ignore

We can hide but we can't run



And I can't run from you

Or what we've run into

Now regardless what I choose, we both lose



[chorus]



It must be getting late

Where's my head

Where is my head

Where is my head



I still hear you telling me what a big mistake I've made

funny that's what I've been telling you

I can lead a horse to water

You can even make him drink

But you can't change his point of view



Tonight as I was driving home I passed a coffee shop

You know I wrestled with the truth

And how I'd explain to you what you could never understand

And how I'd keep my mind from you



But that's the price I pay

Your way is not my way

Today's another day and it's okay



[chorus]



I think I need some rest

Rest my head, arrest my head

Rest my head, arrest my head

Rest my head, arrest my head
