Cold Coffee
Ed Sheeran Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm drunk off last night's whisky and Coke
She'll make me shiver without warning
And make me laugh as if I'm in on the joke
And you can stay with me forever
Or you could stay with me for now
Tell me if I'm right
Tell me if you need a loving hand
To help you fall asleep tonight
Tell me if I know
Tell me if I do
Tell me how to fall in love
The way you want me to
I'll wake with coffee in the morning
But she prefers two lumps of sugar and tea
Outside the day is up and calling
But I don't have to be, so please go back to sleep
Stay with me forever
Or you could stay with me for now
Tell me if I'm wrong
Tell me if I'm right
Tell me if you need a loving hand
To help you fall asleep tonight
Tell me if I know
Tell me if I do
Tell me how to fall in love
The way you want me to
'Cause I love the way you wake me up
For goodness sake, will my love not be enough?
Tell me if I'm wrong
Tell me if I'm right
Tell me if you need a loving hand
To help you fall asleep tonight
Tell me if I know
Tell me if I do
Tell me how to fall in love
The way you want me to
Tell me if I'm wrong
Tell me if I'm right
Tell me if you need a loving hand
To help you fall asleep tonight
The lyrics to Ed Sheeran's song "Cold Coffee" are about a person who is struggling to define their relationship with someone else. The singer likens the person they're singing about to cold coffee in the morning, saying that she can be unpredictable and make him shiver. Despite this, he still wants her to stay with him forever, or at least for now. He asks her whether he's wrong or right about their relationship, and whether she needs someone to help her fall asleep at night.
The singer seems uncertain about the future of the relationship. He talks about waking up with coffee in the morning, but she prefers tea with two lumps of sugar. He also mentions that he doesn't have to be up, so he tells her to go back to sleep. He tells her that he loves the way she wakes him up and wonders whether his love for her will be enough.
The overall message of the song seems to be that the singer's feelings for the other person are complicated and uncertain. He's unsure of what she wants from him, and he worries that his love may not be enough. Despite this, he still wants to be with her and asks her to stay with him.
