[Verse 1]
Livin' beat by beat
And every space tries to throw you off track, off track, mmm
Off track, off track
Literally beat
Fightin' yourself as you fight back, fight back, woah
Fight back, fight back
For you and not for you
For all the ones you depend on
For all the ones who depend on you, depend on you-ooh
And all the pressure you put on yourself as a result of it
[Chorus]
I made you a cup of tea
(Tea for days, tea for them long days
Tea for days, tea for them hard days)
Made you a cup of tea
(Tea for days, tea for them headaches
Tea for days, tea for them heartbreaks)
Made you a cup of tea
(Tea for days, tea for them grey skies
Tea for days, tea for them red eyes)
Made you a cup of tea
(Tea for days, tea for the raindrops
Tea for days, tea 'til the rain stops)
[Verse 2]
Colors, corners, trips
Got you fallin' into old ways, old ways, woah
Old ways, old ways
Fears that masquerade
Friends that call you out as you call them out
Call you out as you call them out (Oh, yeah)
Couldn't fall asleep
Nightmares chillin' on your nightstand, nightstand, woah
Nightstand, nightstand
I swear those fears are mine and yours and everybody else's
I've seen it in your eyes so
[Chorus]
I made you a cup of tea
(Tea for days, tea for them long days
Tea for days, tea for them hard days)
Made you a cup of tea
(Tea for days, tea for them headaches
Tea for days, tea for them heartbreaks)
Made you a cup of tea
(Tea for days, tea for them grey skies
Tea for days, tea for them red eyes)
Made you a cup of tea
(Tea for days, tea for the raindrops
Tea for days, tea 'til the rain stops)
I made you a cup of tea
(Tea for days, tea for them long days
Tea for days, tea for them hard days)
Made you a cup of tea
(Tea for days, tea for them headaches
Tea for days, tea for them heartbreaks)
Made you a cup of tea
(Tea for days, tea for them grey skies
Tea for days, tea for them red eyes)
Made you a cup of tea
(Tea for days, tea for the raindrops
Tea for days, tea 'til the rain stops)
[Outro]
And it will, and it will, and it will
And it will, and it will, and it will
(And it will, and it will)
(And it will, and it will)
(And it will, and it will)
And it will, and it will, and it will
(And it will, and it will)
(And it will, and it will)
(And it will, and it will)
And it will, and it will, and it will

‘tea’ makes me feel better about life in general, so I enjoyed writing about it. But the song isn’t just about tea. ‘tea’ in this case is also a metaphor for any simple thing that helps you deal with life’s ups and downs in a healthy way, and about doing your best to be hopeful in light of/in spite...
