Lyrics

The coffee shop was quiet toward the end of the day
Quad Americano, decaf, just my way
As my friend was talking, I felt a sense of elation
The pieces fit together as I had a realization

It wasn't decaf
That cup was fully leaded
Not decaf
For a moment I fretted
Bushy-tailed and wide-eyed
It's gonna be a wild ride
It wasn't decaf
I was fully on board, not decaf
I was ready to roar
I could solve any problem, by and by
Cause baby, I was flying high

Now it's three a.m
Me and my phone have been tweeting up a storm
I've got five new followers
Hey, it's a start
But the screen is starting to deform
This novel, it's gonna take a while
The op-ed is proving a challenge
My new friend, Emma from Omaha
Suggests that I might have an imbalance

So I dash the light and try again for the rest that so cruelly eludes me
I desperately search YouTube for a meditation that might soothe me
I just have to listen to one ad first, write a book in 48 hours
If I give them my credit card right now, I get a free course in finding my power

It wasn't decaf
That cup was fully leaded
Not decaf
For a moment I fretted
Bushy-tailed and wide-eyed
Oh baby I'm amplified
It wasn't decaf
I was fully on board, not decaf
I was ready to roar
I could solve any problem, by and by
Cause baby, I was flying high

Someone's calling
Oh, it's just my alarm
Screaming six a.m
Time to get up and go to work and start all over again
I need to make some changes
Some old habits have got to go
I'm going to have me a
Double venti-Extra tall-How many shots can you fit in that mug
Fully leaded cup of joe

It isn't decaf
My cup is fully leaded
Not decaf
And I do not regret it
Bushy-tailed and wide-eyed
Oh, baby, I'm certified
It isn't decaf
And I'm fully on board, not decaf
And I'm ready to roar
I can solve any problem, by and by
Just as soon as I'm down from the sky
