Coffee

The song "Coffee" by beabadoobee, a Filipino-British indie singer-songwriter, is a gentle acoustic track that captures the intimate moments of a relationship through the simple act of making coffee. The lyrics convey a sense of care and affection, as the singer offers to make a cup of coffee for their loved one, ensuring it's made just the way they like it. This act serves as a metaphor for the attention and love the singer has for their partner, highlighting the importance of understanding and catering to the small preferences that make each person unique.

The repeated lines about making coffee with the right amount of sugar symbolize the singer's desire to comfort and please their partner. It's a promise of support and companionship, suggesting that even when times are tough ('And I promise that one day I’ll feel fine'), the singer will be there to provide solace and warmth. The mention of the partner's green eyes and the feeling of warmth inside suggests a deep affection and a connection that goes beyond the surface.
