I Just Don't Want Coffee
Caedmon's Call

Alternate version, from the recording "Caedmon's Call"

Words and Music by Derek Webb


Though I am small I've seen things far beyond these city walls
The land is flat, it rolls for miles
I don't know much, I know I've many places yet to see
I know I've been here for a while
Wouldn't you know just when I though I had this figured out
I'm back at my first day at school
Trying not to think too loud I raise my hand to scratch my head
I've no ideas of what to do

'Cause something's changed today
What it is, I just can't say
And if I don't seem O.K.
Well, I'm O.K.
So sue me, sue me
If I just don't want coffee tonight
So sue me, sue me
If I just don't want coffee tonight

Back in this coffee house where we just met a week ago
Now we've been friends since we were young
But all our conversations are hitting walls we can't ignore
We can hide but we can't run

And I can't run from you
Or what we've run into
Now regardless what I choose, we both lose
So sue me, sue me
If I just don't want coffee tonight
It must be getting late
Where's my head
Where is my head
Where is my head

I still hear you telling me what a big mistake I made
Funny, that's what I've been telling you
I can lead a horse to water, and you can even make him drink
But you can't change his point of view
Tonight as I was driving home I passed a coffee shop
You know I wrestled with the truth
And how I'd explain to you what you could never understand
And how I'd keep my mind from you

But that's the price I pay
Your way is not my way
Today's another day and it's okay
So sue me, sue me
If I just don't want coffee tonight
So sue me, sue me
If I just don't want coffee tonight
Think I need some rest
Rest my head, arrest my head
Rest my head, arrest my head
Rest my head, arrest my head
