This lyrical composition explores the complexities of love and relationships, using everyday metaphors. The protagonist appears to be in a state of uncertainty about his relationship, seeking validation and direction from his partner. The repeated phrase "tell me if I'm wrong, tell me if I'm right" reflects this confusion. The cold coffee metaphor suggests an unanticipated change or a lukewarm reaction from the partner, which contrasts with the warmth usually associated with love. Yet, he expresses a willingness to adjust according to her preferences (coffee vs tea). Despite the uncertainty, he yearns for permanence ("stay with me forever"). Furthermore, he questions whether his love is sufficient ("will my love not be enough?"). This song encapsulates the vulnerability and self-doubt often experienced in romantic relationships.
Cold Coffee
Lyrics
She's like cold coffee in the morning
I'm drunk off last night's whisky and Coke
She'll make me shiver without warning
And make me laugh as if I'm in on the joke
And you can stay with me forever
Or you could stay with me for now
Tell me if I'm wrong
Tell me if I'm right
Tell me if you need a loving hand
To help you fall asleep tonight
Tell me if I know
Tell me if I do
Tell me how to fall in love
The way you want me to
I'll wake with coffee in the morning
But she prefers two lumps of sugar and tea
Outside the day is up and calling
But I don't have to be, so please go back to sleep
Stay with me forever
Or you could stay with me for now
Tell me if I'm wrong
Tell me if I'm right
Tell me if you need a loving hand
To help you fall asleep tonight
Tell me if I know
Tell me if I do
Tell me how to fall in love
The way you want me to
'Cause I love the way you wake me up
For goodness sake, will my love not be enough?
Tell me if I'm wrong
Tell me if I'm right
Tell me if you need a loving hand
To help you fall asleep tonight
Tell me if I know
Tell me if I do
Tell me how to fall in love
The way you want me to
Tell me if I'm wrong
Tell me if I'm right
Tell me if you need a loving hand
To help you fall asleep tonight
