The Caramel Drizzle

[Intro]
[Verse]
Sunlight hits the dusty street
Walking bass and steady beat
Shadows dance on window glass
Watching all the people pass
I’m the queen of corner high
Underneath a velvet sky
[Verse]
You’ve got shaking, nervous hands
Ignoring all the boss’s plans
Pouring out a darker roast
To the girl you love the most
But you hide behind the steam
Lost inside a caffeine dream
[Pre-Chorus]
You try to ‘Take Five’
Just to feel alive
But the rhythm’s in the cup
Never let the tempo up
[Chorus]
A little extra caramel gold
More than what the menu hold
Sweetness in a bitter brew
That’s the way I’m reading you
Sugar on the rim today
Chasing all the ‘Mood Indigo’ away
[Hook]
Stir it slow
Let it go
Watch the golden river flow
[Verse]
You spill a little ‘Autumn Leaves’
While you’re rolling up your sleeves
My funny barista friend
Where does the teasing end?
I see that extra drizzle line
Labeling this order mine
[Solo]
Da-ba-da, doo-wop-zazz
Shoo-be-doo, honey jazz
Skid-da-le-it, be-bop-low
Keep it swinging, keep it slow
[Bridge]
Life is just a simple grind
Leaving all the rush behind
Small joys in a porcelain white
Keep the heavy heart light
You don’t have to say a word
Every silent note is heard
[Chorus]
A little extra caramel gold
More than what the menu hold
Sweetness in a bitter brew
That’s the way I’m reading you
Sugar on the rim today
Chasing all the ‘Mood Indigo’ away
[Post-Chorus]
Keep it sweet
Down on 52nd street
Keep it warm
Safe within the quiet storm
[Outro]
