coffee
Grace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't drink coffee anymore
Because it tastes like your mouth
In the morning on the couch
Before it all went south
There was no turbulence to indicate
That this plane was going down
Got a one way ticket baby
Gotta show you this is worth fighting for to me
You can think I am crazy
You don't get to give it up that easy
I've got problems baby
You don't gotta solve 'em maybe
I asked you for too much and
Maybe you didn't ask enough of me
I am stronger than you think
There were no sirens to warn us
This place was burning down and I
Got a one way ticket baby
Gotta show you this is worth fighting for to me
You can think I am crazy
You don't get to give it up that easy
My love grew stronger than ginger
Yours grew slower than molasses
It was sweet, bittersweet
Why'd you go sugar free
Cut me out, too much of a good thing
Got a one way ticket baby
Gotta show you this is worth fighting for to me
You can think I am crazy
You don't get to give me up that easy
Got a one way ticket baby
Gotta show you this is worth fighting for to me




You don't get to give me up that easy
You can think I am crazy

Overall Meaning

The song "Coffee" by Grace is a reflective tune that speaks to an ended relationship, asking the question of how love can turn sour without warning. The lyrics of the song are filled with metaphors and comparisons that give you an idea of how much one can feel when they are left hurt and lost. The song begins with a powerful metaphor, "I can't drink coffee anymore, because it tastes like your mouth", which sets the tone of the entire song. The singer explains how much they enjoyed sharing coffee with their partner before things took a wrong turn in their relationship, how it reminds them of what they once had, now gone. As explained in the song, the moment they shared coffee together every morning on the couch was the time when the relationship started to fall apart.


The song also highlights how love can be complicated and how both sides could have been at fault. The line "I asked you for too much, and maybe you didn't ask enough of me" shows the introspective side of the artist. The relationship reached a point where neither one of them knew how to navigate, and it ultimately led to their downfall. The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and a desire in the singer's heart to make things right again. They are fighting for their relationship because they believe it is worth it, but their partner is hesitating, which is why the lines "gotta show you this is worth fighting for to me, you can think I am crazy, but you don't get to give it up that easy" ring true. The song urges the other person to give it one more chance, and not to give up on their love so easily.


There are many ways to interpret the song, but one thing is certain: it’s a powerful and meaningful song that shows the ups and downs of relationships. It is undeniable that listening to "Coffee" by Grace will make you ponder about your past relationships that ended, wondering where things went wrong, and what we could do differently in the future.
