[Verse 1]
I meet my mug like a part-time priest
Eyes half-open, wallet deceased
Beans in the jar, glossy and loud
Crunch like a tiny applause from a crowd
I grind them up, and the whole room changes
My mood goes from "nope" to "I speak in pages"
That aroma climbs, like it knows my name
One breath of it and I’m back in the game
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t talk to me yet
I’m not legally here
Till that dark little potion
Makes my vision clear
[Chorus]
I need my coffee, coffee, coffee
Liquid gold, so bossy
I was a ghost
Now I’m mostly
I need my coffee, coffee, coffee
Beans all shiny and crunchy
One little sip
And I’m no longer crunchy
[Verse 2]
Pour it black, like a moonless sea
So rich it looks like it’s judging me
That first sip hits, and I’m newly born
Like a tiny sun in a chipped-up storm
I say “just one cup,” then I say “lie”
Then I’m hugging the pot like “hi, hi, hi”
My friends say, “Maybe you should chill”
I said, “I am chill, I’ve simply got skill”
[Pre-Chorus]
I can function now
What a shocking turn
Call it dependency
Or a breakthrough burn
[Chorus]
I need my coffee, coffee, coffee
Liquid gold, so bossy
I was a ghost
Now I’m mostly
I need my coffee, coffee, coffee
Beans all shiny and crunchy
One little sip
And I’m no longer crunchy
[Bridge]
If the cup goes dry, I start a small war
Searchin’ every cabinet, every drawer
I’d trade my plans for another pour
And the one before that? I’m already sore
[Final Chorus]
I need my coffee, coffee, coffee
Liquid gold, so bossy
I was a ghost
Now I’m mostly
I need my coffee, coffee, coffee
Beans all shiny and crunchy
One little sip
And I’m no longer crunchy
Coffee, coffee, coffee
Please don’t make me wait too long, see
I was a mess
Now I’m glossy
I need my coffee, coffee, coffee
Beans all shiny and crunchy
One little sip
And I’m no longer crunchy
