Double Shot of Destiny - ExChillCafe
The rain is tapping on the cafe glass
Watching all the hurried people pass
I'm sitting in the booth where we first met
With a heart that's heavy, but hasn't left yet
The steam is rising in a ghostly swirl
Just a lonely girl in a waking world
I remember how you took your coffee black
Looking at the door wishing you'd come back
You ordered for me before I could speak
And the blush of that morning stayed on my cheek
A chance encounter, a sudden spark
A light that flickered in the morning dark
It was a double shot of destiny, strong and sweet
Two strangers meeting on a quiet street
But now the second chair is cold and bare
And I'm just breathing in the roasted air
One shot for the love that we used to hold
And one for the story that's grown so cold
The barista smiles, but she doesn't know
That I'm still waiting for the afterglow
I stir the sugar till it disappears
Blending the sweetness with a few hidden tears
It's peaceful here in this amber light
Even if my heart didn't wake up right
Maybe destiny just has a bitter taste
Or maybe beautiful things shouldn't go to waste
I'm lingering long after the cup is dry
Underneath a pale and lonely sky
It was a double shot of destiny, strong and sweet
Two strangers meeting on a quiet street
But now the second chair is cold and bare
And I'm just breathing in the roasted air
One shot for the love that we used to hold
And one for the story that's grown so cold
Order for one
The morning's begun
Still tasting the destiny
In every drop
