Coffee
Cam Meekins Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I tell you straight up
I got a real thing for you
I saw you with your friends and I was like
I don′t know what to do

You took a shot at Casamigos
I had to tough it out
Cause I really hated to kill her
But it feels like nothing now

Because the love that I feel is crazier than crazy
Sometimes I don't know what I did to get your ass to date me
Maybe it was the alcohol
Maybe it′s just the energy

I've messaged you six months ago like "Yo, you wanna be friends with me?" and you curved that shit
But I'm persistent and I stuck with it and when I met you that night at the bar we kissed within five minutes
That shit was sweet

Sweeter than your coffee that I get you every morning
Even though sometimes you exhaust me it′s in a good way
Cause we′re having so much fun
We travel and we're on the run and girl I swear that you′re the one

From writing about the shit that hurts
But this time I'm writing about the shit that works for me, yeah

Every day I get a coffee in the afternoon
Only time we′re waking up is after two
Last night we got stoned with nothing to do
She said I got a lot of love but it's just for you

Another day of skipping class cause she hates her school
I always try to mess it up but she keeps me cool
Last night we drank wine with nothing to do
She said I got a lot of love but it′s just for you

The sweetest love is when the past doesn't matter
When we're young it always ends in disaster
We′re from the same neighborhood
She lived two towns away
So girl if you down today I wanna take you on a date

I′m on some real shit
Whatever I say I mean it
We're on in the East Village
Cause you′re apart of me
You'll never clean it

We′re getting stoned discussing life
Sometimes I'm feeling a bit lost
But when we′re chilling everything is alright
Even though you take up all of my closet space and didn't let me bring weed to your mom's place

I still love you
Taking trips you always pack extra
And I pack too light [?]

When there′s darkness you the light
I′m trying to write something, show you how I feel
It probably won't do justice but I still keep it real

One thing is for sure, I′ll always be true
Through good times and bad times
I'm still here for you

Every day I get a coffee in the afternoon
Only time we′re waking up is after two
Last night we got stoned with nothing to do
She said I got a lot of love but it's just for you

Another day of skipping class cause she hates her school
I always try to mess it up but she keeps me cool
Last night we drank wine with nothing to do
She said I got a lot of love but it′s just for you

Every day I get a coffee in the afternoon
Only time we're waking up is after two
Last night we got stoned with nothing to do
She said I got a lot of love but it's just for you

Another day of skipping class cause she hates her school
I always try to mess it up but she keeps me cool
Last night we drank wine with nothing to do
She said I got a lot of love but it′s just for you





She said I got a lot of love but it′s just for you
She said I got a lot of love but it's just for you
