Jimmy Eat World - Coffee and Cigarettes lyrics

When I finally finished school It was the first thing that I did What every townie kid dreams of I packed and started west A thousand dollars I had saved And my sister's two ca**ettes The Dead from Fillmore East And Otis Redding's "Greatest Hits" Coffee and cigarettes As simple as it gets Of all the things I think I'll miss There's staying up with you, coffee, and cigarettes Coffee and cigarettes Then I commit with some restraint To a boy I thought might care It didn't work, but I found out soon And never dug roots there I've been a lot of places since And nothing else compares To easy times and easy eyes To meet you in a stare Coffee and cigarettes As simple as it gets Of all the things I think I'll miss There's staying up with you, coffee, and cigarettes Coffee and cigarettes When I finally finished school It was the first thing that I did What every townie kid dreams of I packed and started west Coffee and cigarettes As simple as it gets Of all the things I think I'll miss There's staying up with you, coffee, and cigarettes
