This song first appeared on Colin Hay’s 1998 CD “Transcendental Highway” but is more well known due to it’s inclusion on the soundtrack of the film “Garden State”, released in 2004. While many listeners assume that the narrator of the song is speaking of getting over a romantic loss, Hay has stated...
[Verse 1]
I drink good coffee every morning
It comes from a place that's far away
And when I'm done I feel like talking
Without you here there is less to say
[Chorus 1]
Don't want you thinking I'm unhappy
What is closer to the truth
Is that if I lived 'till I was a hundred and two
I just don't think I'll ever get over you
[Bridge]
I'm no longer moved to drink strong whiskey
I shook the hand of time and I knew
That if I lived 'till I could no longer climb my stairs
I just don't think I'll ever get over you
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
Your face it dances and it haunts me
Your laughter is still ringing in my ears
I still find pieces of your presence here
Even after all these years
[Chorus 2]
I don't want you thinking that I don't get asked to dinner
Cause I'm here to say that I sometimes do
And even though I may seem to feel a touch of love
I just don't think I'll ever get over you
[Outro Chorus]
If I live 'till I was a hundred and two
I just don't think I'll ever get over you
[Instrumental Outro]
