I Need a Cup of Coffee and Some Bread to Wake Up - In Love With a Ghost

Have I been sleeping? I've been so still afraid of crumbling Have I been careless? Dismissing all the distant rumblings Take me where I am supposed to be To comprehend the things that I can't see 'Cause I need to move, I need to wake up I need to change, I need to shake up I need to speak out something's got to break up I've been asleep and I need to wake up now And as a child I danced like it was 1999 my dreams were wild The promise of this new world would be mine Now I am throwing off the carelessness of youth To listen to an inconvenient truth That I need to move, I need to wake up I need to change, I need to shake up I need to speak out something's got to break up I've been asleep and I need to wake up now I am not an island I am not alone I am my intentions Trapped here in this flesh and bone Oh I need to move, I need to wake up I need to change, I need to shake up I need to speak out, something's got to break up I've been asleep and I need to wake up now I want to change, I need to shake up I need to speak out oh, something's got to break up I've been asleep and I need to wake up now

I, I went to hell I might as well learn by my mistakes I at twenty-four, was insecure, do whatever it takes Come on and wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up It's time, smell the coffee, the coffee Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up This time, smell the coffee, the coffee She's only got one reason to live, this is your life She's only got one message to give, give it tonight She's so gorgeous, I'll do anything She's so gorgeous, I'll lose everything Everything Come on and wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up It's time, smell the coffee, the coffee Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up This time, smell the coffee, the coffee She's only got one reason to live, this is your life She's only got one message to give, give it tonight She's so gorgeous, I'll do anything She's so gorgeous, I'll lose everything She's so gorgeous, I'll do anything She's so gorgeous, I'll lose everything Everything

You tell me you don't love me Over a cup of coffee And I just have to look away A million miles between us Planets crash into dust I just let it fade away I'm walking empty streets Hoping we might meet I see your car parked on the road The light on at your window I know for sure that you're home But I just have to pass on by So no, of course we can't be friends Not while I'm still this obsessed I guess I always knew the score This is how our story ends I smoke your brand of cigarettes And pray that you might give me a call I lie around in bed all day just staring at the walls Hanging round bars at night Wishing I had never been born And give myself to anyone who wants to take me home So no, of course we can't be friends Not while I still feel like this I guess I always knew the score This is where our story ends You left behind some clothes My belly somersaults When I pick them off the floor My friends all say they're worried I'm looking far too skinny I've stopped returning all their calls And no of course we can't be friends Not while I'm still so obsessed I want to ask where I went wrong But don't say anything at all It took a cup of coffee To prove that you don't love me

I fell in love with a girl Sunday church mornings, she put on her pearls Come Monday morning, found her dead Tucked in our sheets Years passed, I slowly forgot The feeling of loving someone in my thoughts But I've begun feeling ice cold kisses On my cheeks I am in love with a ghost And she's in love with me At night I am left with my mind I reach for her hand, but it's cold and unkind Reminds me of summer nights We two shared intertwined The sheets she adorns on her head Look just like the ones we crocheted for our bed Her soft fatal whispers make me wish That I were dead I am in love with a ghost And she's hanging by a thread I know that you don't love me You're just searching for a body And you're hoping I'll comply Yes I know you do not love me But I wish you were proud of me To finally say goodbye
