Gas station coffee makes me think of you
Oh yeah, gas station coffee makes me think of you
And the closeness we once knew
Your very first kiss, it wasn't like you dreamed
Oh no, your very first kiss, in the light of the low beams
The bitter taste of coffee without a trace of cream
We were the weirdos, the oddballs and the freaks
Oh yeah, we were the weirdos, stranger than Twin Peaks
So when was it you began to look down on the weak
Forced conversation, you wouldn't speak your mind
Oh no, forced conversation, that's the worst kind
With our eyes on the road ahead, desire got left behind
You read your poem out loud, but your word choice didn't ring true
Oh no, you read your poem out loud, but your harsh voice was hard to cling to
Talkin' 'bout how you longed for love while I was worshiping you
I'll see you on the news someday for doing something crazy
I'll see you on the news and I'll say hey I know that lady
We used to hang out in gas stations back in the 1980s
Gas station coffee makes you think of me
Oh yeah, gas station coffee makes you think of me
What a life to have lived, to be in your memory
