Coffee in the Morning

She said “Maybe you’re not cut out for this
Real life ain’t what you think it is
It’s pots and pans and middle school band
And mortgage payments”

I said “Baby I don’t care what it is
You’re the most beautiful thing that ever lived
It might not be pretty
The nitty gritty
But we’ll make it fit”

When I found out what you meant
It made me want you even more

True love is not the overused fairytale cliché
It’s exonerated by the beauty in the everyday mundane
It’s the subtle sparks that burst my every capillary, artery and vein
When I make you coffee in the morning
Pour you a glass of wine at night
We fall asleep holding hands
This is the good life

She said “Baby I think you’re fooling yourself
There’s more to this than just playing house
Cross country meets and a roof that leaks
And never ending laundry heaps”

Well, maybe I’m in over my head
The dogs, the kids, the bills, the mess
They’re not the cost, they’re the big payoff
I’m loving it with every breath

I found out what you meant
And now I want you even more

True love is not the overused fairytale cliché
It’s exonerated by the beauty in the everyday mundane
It’s the subtle sparks that burst my every capillary, artery and vein
When I make you coffee in the morning
Pour you a glass of wine at night
We fall asleep holding hands
That’s living the good life

Most nights I’d lie awake and question what it all meant
With you I’ll never wonder again

True love is not the overused fairytale cliché
It’s exonerated by the beauty in the everyday mundane
It’s the subtle sparks that burst my every capillary, artery and vein
When I make you coffee in the morning
Pour you a glass of wine at night
We fall asleep holding hands
Living the good life
True love is not the overused fairytale cliché
It’s exonerated by the beauty in the everyday mundane
It’s the subtle sparks that burst my every capillary, artery and vein
When I make you coffee in the morning
Pour you a glass of wine at night
We fall asleep holding hands
That’s living the good life

We’re living the good life

This is the good life
