Lyric

The coffee place on Mercer closed

I found out on my way to work

There's paper across the windows now

I stood there longer than I meant to

You would've noticed first

You always went on Tuesdays

I nearly told you

Then the bus came

I got on

Found a seat

By the next stop

I was thinking about something else

Forgot to tell you

The place on Mercer closed

Forgot to tell you

I finally cut my hair

Took a little off the ends

More than I planned

Maya said it looked good

I said, "Yeah, I like it"

Maya quit that job she hated

She's starting somewhere else next month

The landlord finally fixed the lift

After we complained all winter

I bought the wrong kind of coffee

Didn't notice till I got home

Put it in the cupboard

Made dinner

My sister asked about my hair

I sent her a picture

She sent back three hearts

I put my phone down

Forgot to tell you

Maya finally left that job

Forgot to tell you

The lift works now

First morning it was fixed

I walked right past it

Got halfway up the stairs

Then remembered

Saturday I found the list

Still stuck beneath a magnet

Detergent

Light bulbs

Pick up the cleaning

And halfway down

Book the coast for September

I read it twice

Crossed that one out

Then circled light bulbs

[Instrumental Turnaround]

[Bridge]

I went for the light bulbs

Bought the wrong size

Went back

The same woman

Was still at the counter

She looked at the box

Then at me

I started laughing

Forgot to tell you

I changed my usual order

Got something different

Didn't like it much

Maya took one bite

Made a face

I took another

It wasn't that bad

Forgot to tell you

Sunday evening

I opened the fridge

The list was still there

Under the same magnet

Detergent had a line through it

So did the cleaning

Light bulbs

Still circled

I found a pen

Stood there for a second

Then wrote

Coffee

Coffee

The right kind this time
