COFFEE
STAYLEAVE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't know where we are or where we might end
This time you look different
(This time you look different)
Woke up the next day smoking a cigarette
Sipping all that Jack like I wasn't gonna finish it
And I know, and I know
Coffee in the morning
Woke up the next day smoking a cigarette
Sipping all that Jack like I wasn't gonna finish it
And I know, and I know
You don't like coffee in the morning
Coffee in the morning
This time you look different
This time you look different
Fell head first in wonderland
Don't know where we are, don't know where we stand
Baby, won't you hold my hand
'Cause this time you look different
And I woke up the next day smoking a cigarette
Sipping all that Jack like I wasn't gonna finish it
And I know, and I know
You don't like coffee in the morning
Coffee in the morning
Woke up the next day smoking a cigarette
Sipping all that Jack like I wasn't gonna finish it
And I know, and I know
You don't like coffee in the morning
Coffee in the morning
'Cause this time you look different
'Cause this time you look different
The song "Coffee" by STAYLEAVE is about a night spent with someone that the singer has a connection with. They are out late at a diner, not really knowing where they are or where the night will take them. The singer seems to be really taken by this person and notes that "this time you look different." There is a hint of uncertainty about where things stand between them as they "fell head first in wonderland."
The next morning, the singer wakes up with a sense of nostalgia and is smoking a cigarette while drinking some Jack Daniels. They note that they know the other person doesn't like coffee in the morning, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for how they may not be compatible in every way, but they still make it work.
The song captures the feeling of uncertainty and excitement that comes with a new connection. The singer is willing to let go of their inhibitions and just go with the flow, even if it means spending the night at a diner and drinking whiskey in the morning. The repeated line, "this time you look different," highlights the singer's fascination with their companion and how every moment with them feels new and exciting.
Overall, "Coffee" is a nostalgic and dreamy song that captures the emotions of a memorable night spent with someone new.
