I never meant this long to stay
I've lived here, it seems like yesterday
It feels like that in a coffee shop
I live upstairs with three other girls
And it's not free
The babysitter's on her way
They don't hear me down here
Singing, screaming loud and clear
Free refills for everyone
I hang out long enough, and I could be someone
I send my family postcards
I tell them just how hard
That I've been working in a coffee shop
And, hey, guess what, Dad?
I'm saving every tip I ever had
To pay off this here guitar
And they don't hear me down here
Singing, screaming loud and clear
Free refills for everyone, yeah
I hang out long enough, and I could be someone
Officer Frank, he stumbles in
Two donuts, oh, this coffee's too thin
He throws his guns up on the counter top
Oh, that man is mean as hell
I'm sure he's going to tell me all about it
In the better public coffee shop
And they don't hear me down here
Singing, screaming loud and clear
Free refills for everyone
I hang out long enough that I could be someone
Yeah, I could be someone
I'm gonna be someone
Yeah, now watch me now, I'm going to be someone
And the beat goes on, and the beat goes on
