"coffee in the morning" lyrics

I like coffee in the morning
On ice, while I'm writing something like
"Time flies, we grow up with no warning"
Shake my head, say, "What can you do?"
Tough luck trying to break even, while
Karma creeps up like a demon, hey
Chin up, there's no rhyme or reason
To the rhythm of the world or its tune
Life just seems to crash into you

Punished for patience, act too fast, you'll pay for it
Where's the line?
Between picturesque and the wrong moment
How do I find?
Harmony like the wind
Singing wishes out of dandelions?
If I could begin again
Would I still stumble through this story I'm writing?
If I could begin again

I'd like coffee in the morning
On ice, while I'm thinking something like
"I'll try a road besides death or glory"
Like floating down the river with you
Past lives appear to me in visions
Scars show where I turned in the wrong direction
I'm used, but still in working condition
I clean my face and put on my boots
To follow up on following through

Punished for patience, act too fast, you'll pay for it
Where's the line?
Between picturesque and the wrong moment
How do I find?
Harmony like the wind
Singing wishes out of dandelions?
If I could begin again
Would I still stumble through this story I'm writing?
If I could begin again
