Coffee at Midnight
Stand Atlantic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can we just say goodnight?
Tell me how to change your mind
Over coffee at midnight
Sink into my trust again, keep me un-composed,
Teach me how to love again,
thinking of yourself,
I guess there's no use in hanging around
Words you're spitting out,
something I can live without,
At least you can be happy now
I don't wanna say goodbye
Can we just say goodnight?
Tell me how to change your mind
Over coffee at midnight
If you're gonna say goodbye,
Would it be alright?
If only I could change your mind
Over coffee at midnight
If you feel that lonely now,
tell me that you don't,
I didn't put my feet to concrete just for you to call me home,
Not sorry if you miss me now,
it's not my fault that we hit the ground,
If you're no damn good for my mental health
There's no use in hanging around
Words you're spitting out,
something I can live without,
At least you can be happy now
I don't wanna say goodbye
Can we just say goodnight?
Tell me how to change your mind
Over coffee at midnight
If you're gonna say goodbye,
Would it be alright?
If only I could change your mind
Over coffee at midnight
So I'll keep pretending like everything's fine,
Like we're saying goodnight and not our goodbyes,
Now it's too late,
I don't wanna walk away, but I'm not just gonna sit and wait.
I don't wanna say goodbye
Can we just say goodnight?
Tell me how to change your mind
Over coffee at midnight
I don't wanna say goodbye
Can we just say goodnight?
Tell me how to change your mind
Over coffee at midnight
If you're gonna say goodbye,
Would it be alright?
If only I could change your mind
Over coffee at midnight
If only I could change your mind
Over coffee at midnight
The song "Coffee at Midnight" by Stand Atlantic is about a relationship on the brink of ending, but one person is still holding on and trying to salvage it. The first verse talks about not wanting to say goodbye but instead just saying goodnight and hoping to change the other person's mind over a cup of coffee at midnight. The second verse speaks about wanting to regain trust and learn to love again, but the other person's actions and lack of patience are making it difficult. The chorus repeats the same plea to not say goodbye but instead to just say goodnight and hope for a change of heart over coffee at midnight.

Overall, the song tackles the complex emotions involved in a failing relationship where one person is holding on and hoping for a change while the other person seems to have already given up.
