Coffee Den Lyrics

He's sitting in a coffee den

Holding a book by Kierkegaard

He hopes someone will notice it

He tries to read it, but it's way too hard

And he's hoping someone will talk to him

It's too soon to go home

He can't even read Danish

And he's feeling so alone

Yeah, he's feeling so alone

And he doesn't wanna go home

She's sitting in a coffee den

Sipping an iced chai

She doesn't like the taste of it

It was the cheapest thing to buy

And she's hoping someone will sit with her

Or call her on her phone

'Cause it's only eight-fifteen right now

And she's feeling so alone

Yeah, she's feeling so alone

And she doesn't wanna go home

You're sitting in a coffee den

With a laptop in your face

You've got nothing to write today

And no "wireless" in this place

So you're looking all around you

'Cause your concentration is thrown

And you wish you'd brought something to read

'Cause you're feeling so alone

Yeah, you're feeling so alone

And you can't go home
