All the unsaid words that I might be thinking 
And all the little signs that I might give you 
They would not be enough 
No they would not be enough 

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 

Ain't that the curse of the second hand 
Ain't that the way of the hour and the day 

If I weren't so alone and afraid 
They might pay me what I am worth 
But it would not be enough 
You deserve better 

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 

Ain't that the curse of the second hand 
Ain't that the way of the hour and the day 

The dam of time cannot hold back 
The dust that will surely come of these bones 
And I'm sure I will not have loved enough 
Will not have loved enough 

If we could see with wiser eyes 
What is good and what is sad and what is true 
Still it would not be enough 
Could never be enough 

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 

Ain't that the curse of the second hand 
Ain't that the way of the hour and the day
