Coffee

Tori Kelly's song 'Coffee' is a heartfelt exploration of longing and the deep sense of missing someone who is far away. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the singer's envy towards everyday objects that get to be close to her loved one. The cup of coffee, the pillow, the steering wheel, and even the seat belt become symbols of intimacy that she yearns for. This personification of inanimate objects highlights the depth of her feelings and the intensity of her desire to be near her partner.

The chorus amplifies this sentiment, with Kelly expressing how she would go to great lengths, even jumping over the edge or walking an ocean, just to be close to her loved one. The repetition of 'missing you way too much' underscores the overwhelming nature of her emotions. The song captures the universal experience of missing someone so deeply that it feels almost unbearable, and the frustration that comes with it.

The song also touches on the irrationality of jealousy towards 'stupid things,' acknowledging that while it may seem silly, the feelings are very real. This adds a layer of vulnerability and honesty to the song, making it relatable to anyone who has ever felt the pangs of separation. The repeated line 'even your coffee is closer than me' serves as a poignant reminder of the physical distance and the emotional toll it takes. Tori Kelly's soulful voice and emotive delivery further enhance the song's impact, making 'Coffee' a touching ode to love and longing.
