Coffee Stains Lyrics by Possum Pirate

Bedrooms, Bathrooms, Backyards

2024

I work full-time hours
Just for part time pay
Sometimes the days are long
But I enjoy it anyway
I try to save my money
I go out to eat too much
I go back to school this winter
I don’t see you near enough
You said you’d be a teacher
Just like my mom and dad
And I think that’s amazing
But good lord, the pay is bad
And maybe after grad school
I could get a job up North
Try to have it all together
But I know that never works
Would you take coffee stains?
On everything?
Would you take a little house?
Maybe 40 years of working
Before we find our own way out?
And the dog I always wanted
Sits with your cat by the door
Would you love me
If I couldn’t givе you more?
I won’t romanticize a mortgage
Bеcause I still don’t trust the banks
And I’m grateful both our parents
Still had jobs after ‘08
But I’d make every little payment
If it meant we’d have a place
I don’t mind to do the dishes
If you just hand me the plates
We would have to have a front porch
That I’d play music on
And I would sing off key
And I’d get the words all wrong
Bring you coffee in the morning -
That can always be my job
You forget, and never drink it
But I’d make another pot
Would you take coffee stains?
On everything?
Would you take a little house?
Maybe 40 years of working
Before we find our own way out?
And the dog I always wanted
Sits with your cat by the door
Would you love me
If I couldn’t give you more?
And I’ll try to keep your flowers
In the kitchen looking fresh
It’d be hard to keep a garden
But it isn’t ruled out yet
It may not be a mansion
But the house is by the park
I’ll count down all the years
You just tell me when to start
We’ll get benefits and wages
Make a list before the store
Tell each other about our day over dinner
And I’m sure
That I could never ask for more
Would you take coffee stains?
On everything?
Would you take a little house?
Maybe 40 years of working
Before we find our own way out?
And the dog I always wanted
Sits with your cat by the door
Would you love me
If I couldn’t give you more?
