Coffeehouse

They’re gonna tear this old place down
Where we once found common ground
I remember sitting there
In that oversized rocking chair
You were perched up on my knee
Why can’t they let it be?

Time has passed so quick it seems
It only lives on in our dreams
I don’t know what we’re fighting for
Even our love is no more

I smell the coffee lingering here
Making memories seem so clear
Like the day when we first met
Those songs we played on a mix cassette 
We were lovers filled with hope
Now it’s all gone up in smoke

But time has passed so quick it seems
It only lives on in our dreams
I don’t know what we’re fighting for
Even our love is no more

Construction men have cleared the scene
Could they have done this if they’d seen?
All the happiness that once was here
Their machines made it disappear
Only a distant memory
It’s all that’s left of you and me

Now time has passed so quick it seems
It only lives on in our dreams
I don’t know what we’re fighting for
Even our love is no more
