Single by Brendan Bonsack



My last coffee before

My next paycheck

Has a tiny crooked heart



The barista is my neighbour

With up all night eyes,



We talk about the birdsong

Swifty in the playlist,

Alexa play it louder,

Sunshine on the counter

Sixty seconds older,



I catch a breath of love

And then it goes

I catch a breath

And then it's gone



I catch a breath of love

And then it goes

I catch a breath

And then it's gone



My last coffee before

My next paycheck

Has a tiny crooked heart



They'll still drop bombs, y’ know

Just smile more and pet

Cute piglets while doing it



Circle table bursts of yellow

a boxer kissing gold

Cuts of wattle in glasses

No, No, No



No, not blooming early,

Just, my neighbour's saying,

Just doing what they do

Just doing what they do
