Cup of Tea Lyrics

I'm visiting
The ground's a little weathered where I stood
Right field in my neighborhood
I was mostly last, always least, dig it

At graduation everyone
Will throw their hats into the sun
But they'll drop like flies to the sea
This is not my cup of tea

And Valerie
The winter won't be keeping her around
I'm nailing leaves to the ground
But it feels like sand underneath

She's never letting me forget
I've always been an idiot
But at times like this I agree
This is not my cup of tea

It's not, it's not, it's not
Of tea
It's not, it's not, it's not
My cup of tea

Crash
In a wrinkle of steel we are gone
Will my last breath be a yawn
Watching them sorting debris
This is not my cup of tea
It's not my cup of tea
It's not, it's not my cup of tea
My cup of tea
Tea
Tea

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
