lyrics

Verse:
Thought I’d get some inspiration here
Thought I could use a change of scene
Observe some conversations here
Need someone watching me
This is how so many greats did it
And I know coz I just looked it up
This is gonna make all the difference
I'm drinking from a half-full cup

Chorus:
It’s only a matter of time now
Something will come to me soon
Then I’ll encapsulate, I’ll have so much to say
I’ve got so much to prove

This time I’ll stay focused, write my magnum opus
I'll have a plan once more
And so I'm writing in coffee shops, to undo my writer's block
How did I ever live before?

Verse:
Someone crunch the numbers
Work out how much I could’ve saved
Gone through half a dozen loyalty cards
I’m here nearly every day

Was fun at first but the novelty
Wore off a long time ago
I just come here out of habit now
I can’t stand to be alone

Chorus:
Think the caffeine’s making me doubt myself
Just hope that something comes to me soon
And I know they say to follow your instincts
But I still need to be approved

Don’t mean to get existential
And I know I don’t have to stay
All I know is that I’m getting older
Can’t have another blank page today

Can't get in the zone, have no self-control
There's too many distractions here
Thought I was so clever, I'm more lost than ever now
Done absolutely nothing this year

I thought this was my calling
But now I’m not so sure
I've been writing in coffee shops, but I've still got writer's block
How did I ever do this before?

Outro:
He died of unfulfillment
Slumped over a makeshift desk
Poisoned by his hair gel
Choked on his turtleneck
So they looked at what he’d written
What he’d left behind for the world
It was the most genius first draft of
An opening first sentence
