Lavender Lines

[Intro]
[Verse]
Eleven on a Saturday
Dust dancing in the ray
Of sun on faded spines
Between the printed lines
You’re leaning on the wood
Looking better than you should
Steam rising from the machine
Prettiest thing I’ve ever seen
[Pre-Chorus]
I see your silver ring
Doing that rhythmic thing
Tapping on the counter top
I never want the beat to stop
You pull the handle down
Quiet king of this town
[Chorus]
Lavender oat and a rhyme
Taking up all of my time
Sweet steam and a soft smile
Stay for a little while
It’s a quiet kind of rush
A caffeinated kind of blush
Yeah, you got me
Mmm, you got me
[Post-Chorus]
(Scatting) 
Shoo-bee-doo, mmm
Da-da-da, yeah
Just a little bit of sugar
Just a little bit of soul
[Verse]
You saved the last one for me
Like it was meant to be
Your fingers brush my hand
I hope you understand
I’m reading the same page
Trapped in a paper cage
Just to watch you move
Finding a mellow groove
[Hook]
Tiny doodles on the rim
Make the morning light look dim
Compared to how you glow
I think I’m starting to know
Yeah, I’m starting to know
[Bridge]
I’ve got a pocket full of scraps
Escaping all the lonely traps
Crumpled notes and ink stains
Washing away the rainy days
Is it the espresso or the heart?
Where does the feeling start?
You look up and catch my eye
Under this D-flat sky
[Chorus]
Lavender oat and a rhyme
Taking up all of my time
Sweet steam and a soft smile
Stay for a little while
It’s a quiet kind of rush
A caffeinated kind of blush
Yeah, you got me
Mmm, you got me
[Verse]
You close the heavy book
Give me that specific look
Ask if I need a refill
I’m standing perfectly still
The flugelhorn starts to play
In the back of the cafe
I’ll just sit right here
Keeping my secrets near
[Post-Chorus]
(Scatting)
Ba-da-pum, mmm
Lavender and light
Everything’s alright
Yeah, everything’s alright
[Outro]
