Coffee & Dreams Lyrics

Still waiting for my life to begin

Not even comfortable in my own skin

Always running on empty

Filling up on coffee and dreams

Being happy sure is harder than it seems

But I get up every morning

Feed the cats and go to work

And hope when I get home

That my man won't act berzerk

I try to make the best of it

'Cause what's the use in crying

Maybe one day I'll start living

Before I'm even dying

I try not to dwell

On everything I'm missing

So my life isn't exciting

That's why they invented television

But every night

Before I close my eyes and go to sleep

I make a wish that someday

My life will feel complete

But I get up every morning

Feed the cats and go to work

And hope when I get home

That my man won't act berserk

I try to make the best of it

'Cause what's the use in crying

Maybe one day I'll start living

Before I'm even dying

So things could sure be better

But they could get a whole lot worse

I'm a realistic optimistic

It's a blessing and a curse

But you don't have to worry

Because worry is a waste

I just keep on going

With a fake smile on my face

But I get up every morning

Feed the cats and go to work

And hope when I get home

That my man won't act berserk

I try to make the best of it

'Cause what's the use in crying

Maybe one day I'll start living

Before I'm even dying

Until then I'll try again

And I'll just keep on trying

So maybe I'll start living

Before I'm even dying
