Lyrics
I work up the nerve to take a chemical leap
I'm living the dream, because I'm mostly asleep
I take midnight coffee over morning cocaine
I take midnight coffee over morning cocaine
I drink my ambition with a twist of regret
I sold all my loyalties to settle a debt
The joke I been chasing brings me nothing but pain
I take midnight coffee over morning cocaine
Chorus:
When you push, then I push push back
Got no love for your candy lines
Candy lines, candy lines
Break my heart baby not my mind
She said "Can I fix myself?"
I said "I don't care"
So she took the high road
while I played with her hair
We all need a secret to inspire the pain
I take midnight coffee over morning cocaine
So I can't move forward and my friends can't see
That I'm stuck on a girl stuck on what I used to be
I go find a substitute that don't even speak
There's no need for talk when you can fake a mystique
Chorus:
The past is a drug that makes it easy to lie
To your friends and yourself until it's easy to die
I can't take it easy for the rest of my life
I'll take midnight coffee if it takes me all night
This car's got no melody and still I persist
I'm too old to win, I'm too young to quit
This room's got no windows do I even exist?
This room's got no windows do I even exist?
Chorus:
