[Intro]
   

[Verse 1]
      
Can't meet you

 for dinner
       
At the Italian

 place
      
It's where I m

et your family
     
Some words wer

e exchanged
     
I'd suggest th

e jazz bar
   
On MaryAnn Str

eet
          
But you'd buy 

me a drink
       
And we know wh

ere that leads

, so


[Chorus]
    
I'll meet you 

for coffee
       
'Cause if we h

ave wine
             
You'll say tha

      
t you want me
           
I know that's 

  
a lie
   
If I didn't lo

ve you

It would be fi

ne
             
Meet you for c

   
offee, only fo

r coffee

Nowhere else i

s safe
           
Every place le

              
ads back to yo

    
ur place


[Verse 2]
         
You said let's


 do the park
       
'Cause I love 

the park

That may be tr

ue
           
But God forbid

 it gets dark
      
Here come the 

excuses that f

uel the illusi

ons
        
But I'd rather

 feel somethin

g
      
Than nothing a

t all, so


[Chorus]
     
I'll meet you 

for coffee
       
'Cause if we h

ave wine
             
You'll say tha

         
t you're sorry
           
I know that's 

   
a lie
   
If I didn't tr

ust you

It would be fi

ne
             
I'll meet you 

        
for coffee, on


ly for coffee

Nowhere else i

s safe

Every place le

ads back to yo

ur—


[Bridge]
          
We've done thi

   
s before
         
And I don't ne

         
ed it anymore


[Chorus]
    
So let's not d

o coffee
      
Let's not even

 try
             
It's better we

 
 leave it
           
And give it so

    
me time
   
If I didn't lo

ve you

It would be fi

ne
             
'Cause if we d

It's never jus

                 
t coffee
