If You're the Coffee
The Arcadian Wild Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just to drive around the town with you
We would wake before the sun and throw out our maps
Get gone ′til our hearts play in tune
And I would fly a million miles away
Just to have you there to hold my hand
I would swim across the ocean
Whatever it takes to know that I'm with you again
And oh-oh-oh, no matter where we go
Whoa-oh-oh, baby, I′ll be happy 'cause
When the morning sings, I think of us, whoa-oh
You got me smiling, like I'm in love
And who′da thunk we′d end up getting stuck so perfectly?
If you're the milk, I′m the cookie, yeah
If you're the coffee, I′m the cream
Oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
If you're the coffee, I′m the cream
Oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Every day I start a'missing the sound of your laugh
You're the sugar in my cup of tea
And sometimes when I am dreaming, you ask for my hand
We dance across dimensions in our bare feet
And oh-oh-oh, no matter where we go
Whoa-oh-oh, baby, I′ll be happy ′cause
When the morning sings, I think of us, whoa-oh
You got me smiling, like I'm in love
And who′da thunk we'd end up getting stuck so perfectly?
If you′re the milk, I'm the cookie, yeah
If you′re the coffee, I-
I needed a pick-me-up before you tripped right over me
The happiness that I feel's been hidden few and far between
But you found me
When the morning sings, I think of us, oh-oh
You got me smiling, like I'm in love
And who′da thunk we′d end up getting stuck so perfectly?
If you're the train, I′m the ticket, the spoon, I'm the fork
The salt, I′m the pepper, the knob, I'm the door
If you′re the milk, I'm the cookie, yeah
If you're the coffee, I′m the cream
Oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
If you′re the coffee, I'm the cream
Oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
