Can't meet you for dinner

At the Italian place

It's where I met your family

Some words were exchanged

I'd suggest the jazz bar

On MaryAnn Street

But you'd buy me a drink

And we know where that leads, so

I'll meet you for coffee

'Cause if we have wine

You'll say that you want me

I know that's a lie

If I didn't love you

It would be fine

Meet you for coffee, only for coffee

Nowhere else is safe

Every place leads back to your place

He said let's do the park

'Cause I love the park

That may be true

But God forbid it gets dark

Here come the excuses that fuel the illusions

But I'd rather feel something

Than nothing at all, so

I'll meet you for coffee

'Cause if we have wine

You'll say that you're sorry

I know that's a lie

If I didn't trust you

It would be fine

I'll meet you for coffee, only for coffee

Nowhere else is safe

Every place leads back to your—

We've done this before

And I don't need it anymore

So let's not do coffee

Let's not even try

It's better we leave it

And give it some time

If I didn't love you

It would be fine

'Cause if we do coffee

It's never just coffee

It's never just coffee
