At the Coffee Shop - Craig J. Hansen

I sent you a message
And then you reply
Let’s meet at the coffee shop
On Burlington and State
And then you add, to make things clear
This is just to meet
And no, this is not a date.

To go actually meet someone
That you found on the screen
Is not an easy thing to do
But you take a chance
Write a reply
Sure I’ll meet you there
Why is it’s so hard to meet someone new.

Chorus
Now at the coffee shop
I stare out the window
I watch the hours roll by
I guess I’m stood up
And I can hardly stand it
But I guess you never know unless you try.

My friends all tell me
You are too much alone
You need to get a companion
Like a dog or like a cat
But I am gone all day long
A pet would be alone
And I hate to treat anything like that.

With all this overtime
I drop in bed half dead
It’s hard to meet someone
When your day is just so long
Maybe on the screen
I can be seen
By someone who suspects
That next profile just might be the one.

Second Chorus
Now at the coffee shop
I stare out the window
I watch the hours roll by
I guess I’m stood up
And I can hardly stand it
I guess you never know unless you try.

Here at the coffee shop
I still stare out the window
I watch the people walk by
They say if you don’t reach out
No one will ever find you
And I guess you’ll never know unless you try.
