lyrics

You stood in Mozart's line, hair still wet from rain

I said, "just black, no sugar" like I’d said it before in vain

You wrote it on a blue straw sleeve, folded by your thumb

Said, "I got you" like a song, then the whole room went numb

Next day you saw me first, by the cracked front window

Same worn boots, same truck keys, same slow Texas tempo

You slid that paper cup across like it had my name

One time, one small kindness, and I was not the same

You know my coffee order

You know my coffee order

You know my coffee order

You know my coffee order

Baby, that’s enough for me

Rain on South Lamar, June heat on the glass

Your apron had a coffee stain from the lunch crowd rush that passed

You asked if I still take it strong, with that little grin

I said, "you caught me once," and you caught me once again

Now I pull up at six-fifteen, door squeaks on the hinge

You’ve got the cup ready before I can even reach

Maple counter, white receipt, steam on your wrist

That tiny act of knowing is a heavy thing to miss

You know my coffee order

You know my coffee order

You know my coffee order

You know my coffee order

Baby, that’s enough for me

I’ve seen big promises fold in a parking lot

Seen good words sour in the heat and rot

But you remembered one small thing, plain and true

And that little black coffee keeps pulling me to you

You know my coffee order

You know my coffee order

You know my coffee order

You know my coffee order

Baby, that’s enough for me
