Sylvan Esso – Coffee Lyrics

True
Its a dance we know the moves
the bow the dip the woo
and though the words are true
the state is old news
Wrap me in your arms
I cant feel it but
rock me in your arms I cant feel it but
get up get down
get up get down feel the turn of rotation and stop
see the next one waiting
Get up get down get up get down
get up Sentiments the same but the pair of feet change
I know my words will dry upon the skin
just like a name I remember hearing
Wild winters
warm coffee
moms gone
do you love me?
blazing summer
cold coffee
baby’s gone
do you love me
wrap me in you arms
I cant feel it but
rock me in your arms
I can’t feel it but
rock me in your arms
I can’t feel it but
get up get down
get up get down
feel the turn of rotation and stop,
see the next one waiting
get up get down
get up get down
get up
sentiments the same but the pair of feet change
get up get down feel the turn of rotation and stop see the next one waiting
get up get down get up get down get up
sentiments the same but the pair of feet change

Break

My baby does the hanky panky
my baby does

get up get down
get up get down
feel the turn of rotation and stop,
see the next one waiting
get up get down
get up up get down
get up
sentiments the same but the pair of feet change
get up get down
and you move it all around now
get up
see the next one waiting
get up get down
get up get down
get up sentiments the same but the pair of feet change.

  Actually this song explores sexuality and relationships on a different level. The movement, the dance, the embrace of the current partner are metaphors of the intimacy actions. They see this dance “get up, get down” like a frenzy and “see the next one waiting” is somehow a symbol of nowadays culture, where changing your partner/lover is something normal.
  Coffee is in various cultures related to intimacy and one’s sexual life.
  But you could say a cup of “coffee” in the morning will highlight your entire day. 😉
