I found myself sitting there in the diner
Quite often
Drinking promises
Laced with Irish coffee
Making idle conversation
With an acquitance
You know one of those convience things
Only when I needed something
To fill that empty void
Deep down
That I could never really pin point
But only made it worse
When I had let the sweet
Intoxication of my emotions
Get the best of me
But I finally found
Someone, not even close
To a convience
And when I look deep within his eyes
When I hear his voice
And his sweet promises
I try to push away
Ever sitting in the diner
For the past couple years
With an acquitance
With my convient temporary
Form of relief
It all seems like a dream
A faint memory
I still sit in the diner
This time
I can only smile
I believe in destiny
Even love
He's my reflection
The calm before the storm
Like a whirlwind
Cleasning my troubled heart
I threw away everything
The temporary relief
I only want to sit with him
In the diner
Sharing a plate of french fries
And a milkshake
No more Irish coffee
And no more temporary relief
Because I know
Deep down inside
That I want this to be permanent...
