Coffee
Elise Huang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kinda tall and bittersweet
A little sugar on the side, to make you feel alright
And a hug from me
I like it when you're strong
But I like it when you're not
It's okay for you to chill, I will love you still
I enjoy your company
And every time I'm with you I just feel so alive
I love the memories
I have with you, it makes me smile
I call you coffee so I'm not that obvious
'Cause I love you
Whether you're bitter or sweet
Hot or cold
I love you
You're like the coffee by my side
I'd take you everywhere I go
I'd look for you if you were gone, but I know not for long
No, no, no, no, no
If I needed you
In an instant or a button press you come around
And if you need me
I won't ever be far
I call you coffee so I'm not that obvious
'Cause I love you
Whether you're bitter or sweet
Hot or cold
I love you
I call you coffee so I'm not that obvious
'Cause you're my favorite bean
Whether you're bitter or sweet
Hot or cold
I love you
I call you coffee so I'm not that obvious
'Cause I love you
Whether you're bitter or sweet
Hot or cold
I love you
