Seattle's Best IV: My Barista

from Emerald City Love Song by Sweet Diss and the Comebacks

lyrics

We're just a couple a kids
Taking the long way home
Thinking it through alone
I really should have known

I'm 20-something and blue
And feeling her slip away
I'll see her another day
What do you want me to say?

There's no harm in letting this end
cause good luck charms are only pretend
However...

She could watch the stars
All night, all night
Safely in my arms
All right, all right
I'd give my heart to take
If she would be there when I'd wake
And not just in my dreams
Alright, alright

I'm turning back on my heal
And doing this damn thing right
I'm taking her out tonight
I'm asking her real polite

And she's got all my favorite bands
Pinned to her heart and that's the way in
I'm taking

Hello (Hello)
My barista (Call my Lisa)
Girl, you are lovelier than you know
I'll ask (So ask)
My barista (Call me lisa)
I don't know quite how this should go...

When you speak it makes me doubt my worth
Like an angel a god would send to earth
To make heathens like myself believe in something

And we could watch the stars
All night, all night
You safely in my arms
All right, all right
I'll give my heart to take
I know you'll be there when I wake
And not just in my dreams
I'm alright, I'm alright

Subliminal messages from subliminal girls...
