Original version, from the recording "Just Don't Want Coffee"
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
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.
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
I've got this friend who's been around the world a time or two
And he keeps maps on all his walls
I've never been to France, I've heard it's nice this time of year
Except I don't speak French at all
I wonder would it be as hard to have never seen you
As to keep you from my sight?
And though I've talked about you to my friend a million times
I first saw you tonight
And something's changed today
What it is I just can' 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
Must be getting late
Where's my head
Where's my head
Where's my head
I still hear you telling me what a big mistake I made
Funny, that's what I've been telling you
'Cause 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
I glanced through the window there
It was just like the one where you work, where I met you
I didn't stop, I wouldn't dare
'Cause something's changed today
Your way is not my way
Today's another day
And 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
Think I need some rest
Rest my head, arrest my head
Rest my head, arrest my head
Rest my head, arrest my head
