[Verse 1]
All the unsaid words that I might be thinking mm-hmm
And all the little signs that I might give you mm-hmm
Well they would not be enough
No they would not be enough
[Pre-Chorus 1]
So we nod over coffee and say goodbye
Smile over coffee and turn to go
We know the drill and we do it well
We love it, we hate it, ain't that life
[Chorus]
Oh, ain't that the curse of the second hand, yeah yeah oh
Oh, ain't that the way of the hour and the day, hey
[Verse 2]
If I weren't so alone and afraid, oh-oh
They might pay me what I am worth, oh-oh
But it would not be enough
You deserve better
[Pre-Chorus 2]
So we nod over coffee and say goodbye
Do whatever has to be done again today
Get in the traffic and time will fly
Look at the sun and pray for rain, oh
[Chorus]
Oh, ain't that the curse of the second hand, oh-oh oh
Oh, ain't that the way of the hour and the day, hey
[Mandolin solo]
Oh
[Verse 3]
The dam of time cannot hold back, oh, hey hey
The dust that will surely come of these bones um-huh
And I'm sure I will not have loved enough
Will not have loved enough
[Verse 4]
If we could see with wiser eyes, um-hmm
What is good and what is sad and what is true, uh-huh
Still it would not be enough
Could never be enough
[Pre-Chorus 3]
So we nod over coffee and say goodbye
Bolt the door it's time to go
Into the car with the radio on
Roll down the window and blow the horn, oh oh
[Chorus - outro]
Oh, ain't that the curse of the second hand, yeah hey ohhh
Oh, ain't that the way of the hour and the day, hey hey oh oh
Oh, ain't that the curse of the second hand, yeah hey hey oh
Oh, ain't that the way of the hour and the day, hey hey hey oh oh
Oh, ain't that the curse of the second hand, hey hey
Oh, ain't that the way of the hour and the day, hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
