Coffee Talk
Broadside Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lately, all I wanna do
is lay around with you
and complain about the youth.
How we’ll never leave your room,
tell me everything that bothers you.

Aimlessly driving on the highway,
hoping that you’ll check your phone
and that you’re still awake.

Please don’t take this as anything
but honest,
I’m still stuck on
last Thursday
when you undressed
and whispered my name.

Lately, all I wanna do
is lay around with you
and complain about the youth.
How we’ll never leave your room,
tell me everything that bothers you

Damn girl, you don’t even know.
Looking at my eyes,
staring at my soul.
I forgot how to be alone.
Stay up all night
when you’re not at home.

Waffle house,
black coffee in our mugs.
We’re hazy eyed,
but not because we’re fucked up,
it’s just that we’ve been up all night.
Sharing stories of our past,
empty vows of how you’d keep in touch,
If I can always make you laugh.

And all I wanna do
is just lay around with you.

Lately, all I wanna do
is lay around with you
and complain about the youth.

How we’ll never leave your room,
tell me everything that bothers you.

And damn girl, you don’t even know.
Looking in my eyes,
staring at my soul.
I forgot how to be alone.
Stay up all night
when you’re not at home.

And my chest ignites when I hear you speak,
miss your company long before you leave.
Your scent, it lingers all within my sheets,
and your touch, girl,
brings me to my knees.

Lately, all I wanna do
is lay around with you
and complain about the youth.

How we’ll never leave your room,
tell me everything that bothers you.

Damn girl, you don’t even know.
Looking at my eyes,
staring at my soul.
I forgot how to be alone.




Stay up at night
when you’re not at home.

Overall Meaning

Broadside's "Coffee Talk" is a ballad for the millennial age – discussing the concept of relationships where you merely exist with a partner in each other's company without any physical interaction. The lyrics begin with a young couple, lounging around in the comfort of each other's company. The singer reflects on how he wants nothing more than to be with his significant other and just vent about societal problems. As the song progresses, he continues to express his need for this kind of companionship, which is non-sexual and non-judgmental. The lyrics support the notion that people can find solace in the simple act of just being together.


The lyrics speak about the youth, which is an often-discussed topic regarding the current generation. The singer is critical of how society is creating a generation that isn't going out and doing things as the previous ones did, but instead merely existing in a confined space with a partner of their choosing. The lyrics indicate that the singer is guilty of doing the same thing, but he sees no problem with it as he has the person he wants with him. He also feels nostalgic, missing the simpler times when being together was not an issue, and they could spend their days together without a care in the world.


The term "Coffee Talk" refers to the conversations that people have over coffee, engaging in discussions and opening up to each other. This phrase has been used in various contexts, including talk shows, podcasts, and even in the workplace. The song uses this term to represent the intimate conversations that the couple has over coffee, where they can lay bare their innermost thoughts and feelings.

Lately, all I wanna do
is lay around with you
and complain about the youth.
How we’ll never leave your room,
tell me everything that bothers you.

Aimlessly driving on the highway,
hoping that you’ll check your phone
and that you’re still awake.

Please don’t take this as anything
but honest,
I’m still stuck on
last Thursday
when you undressed
and whispered my name.

Lately, all I wanna do
is lay around with you
and complain about the youth.
How we’ll never leave your room,
tell me everything that bothers you.

And damn girl, you don’t even know.
Looking at my eyes,
staring at my soul.
I forgot how to be alone.
Stay up all night
when you’re not at home.

Waffle house,
black coffee in our mugs.
We’re hazy eyed,
but not because we’re fucked up,
it’s just that we’ve been up all night.
Sharing stories of our past,
empty vows of how you’d keep in touch,
If I can always make you laugh.

And all I wanna do
is just lay around with you.

Lately, all I wanna do
is lay around with you
and complain about the youth.
How we’ll never leave your room,
tell me everything that bothers you.

And damn girl, you don’t even know.
Looking in my eyes,
staring at my soul.
I forgot how to be alone.
Stay up all night
when you’re not at home.

And my chest ignites when I hear you speak,
miss your company long before you leave.
Your scent, it lingers all within my sheets,
and your touch, girl, brings me to my knees.

Lately, all I wanna do
is lay around with you
and complain about the youth.
How we’ll never leave your room,
tell me everything that bothers you.

And damn girl, you don’t even know.
Looking at my eyes,
staring at my soul.
I forgot how to be alone.
Stay up at night
when you’re not at home.

I'm 31 and have been a fan of poppunk since Blink 182's Dammit and Green Day's Dookie. You guys have it. Congrats and Thank you! I have this on repeat. Reminds me of Yellowcard (Ocean Avenue) and All Time Low.

This is legitimately the only YouTube ad I have ever sat through. I thoroughly enjoyed all three minutes. Maybe someday this band will be so popular that they won't need a YouTube ad! (:
