lyrics

Woke up late and you had to rush
Forgot about breakfast your stomach was crushed
And you knew that a coffee couldn't take you all the way

I had a muffin sitting on my desk
Got it that morning, they're always best fresh
And this one was stuffed with bran and berries and nuts

But I didn't bring it for myself
I just brought it for someone else
And I guess that could be you
I give my muffin to you

It started off as a sunny day
You looked outside and you said no way
You had no reason to think that the skies would turn gray

I just so happened to catch the forcast
They hinted at rain so I had to think fast
And so I brought my umbrella along with me

But I didn't bring it for myself
I just brought it for someone else
And I guess that could be you
I give my umbrella to you

On your way home it was difficult to see
The family of ducks that were crossing the street
You only had time to crash yourself into a tree

And you were okay, just a bit shocked
I happened to be parked on that very same block
Your car was wrecked but mine was fully intact

But I didn't bring it for myself
I just brought it for someone else
And I guess that could be you
I give my car to you
