All the unsaid words that I might be thinking (uh-huh)
And all the little signs that I might give you (uh-huh)
They would not be enough
No they would not be enough

So we nod over coffee and say goodbye
Smile over coffee and turn to go
We know the drill and we do it well
We love it, we hate it
Ain't that life

Oooh-Ain't that the curse of the second hand
Oooh-Ain't that the way of the hour and the day

If I weren't so alone and afraid (uh-huh)
They might pay me what I am worth (uh-huh)
But it would not be enough
You deserve better

So we nod over coffee and say goodbye
Do whatever has to be done again today
Get in the traffic and time will fly
Look at the sun and pray for rain

Oooh-Ain't that the curse of the second hand
Oooh-Ain't that the way of the hour and the day

The dam of time cannot hold back (uh-huh)
The dust that will surely come of these bones (uh-huh)
And I'm sure I will not have loved enough
Will not have loved enough

If we could see with wiser eyes (uh-huh)
What is good and what is sad and what is true
Still it would not be enough
Could never be enough

So we nod over coffee and say goodbye
Bolt the door it's time to go
Into the car with the radio on
Roll down the window and blow the horn

Oooh-Ain't that the curse of the second hand
Oooh-Ain't that the way of the hour and the day
