About This Track

Miguel maps the arc of a new relationship across a single night and morning, each stage sliding into the next with the languid inevitability of pillow talk giving way to sleep. Released as the lead single from 'Wildheart' in May 2015, the track originally appeared on a free three-song EP in late 2014; the album version replaced a guest verse from Wale with additional material from Miguel himself. He is credited as sole producer, and the production carries that intimacy, all peach-coloured skies and the smell of hair on a pillow.

The lyric moves through conversation and touch, street art and sarcasm, the small sacraments of early intimacy. Miguel sings of wanting to paint these moments in vibrant hues, the refrain cycling back to coffee in the morning, the point where desire settles into something quieter. The song's explicitness is frank rather than lurid, the title's alternate version ('Coffee (Fucking)') making plain what the verses already imply. It remains one of the more direct treatments of adult intimacy in recent R&B, unashamed and surprisingly tender.

"Coffee" is a single by Miguel, from the album Wildheart, released 25th June 2015. The track is 4:47 long. It's filed under R&B/Soul. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Miguel.

Lyrics

Coffee

I wish I could paint our love
These moments and vibrant hues
Wordplay, turns into gun play
And gun play turns into pillow talk
And pillow talk turns into sweet dreams
Sweet dreams turns into coffee in the morning

We talk street art and sarcasm
Crass humor and high fashion
Peach color, moon glistens, the plot thickens
As we laugh over shotguns and tongue kisses
Bubble bath, Truth or Dare, and Would You Rather
A cold flame, the thrill of no shame
Drugs, sex, and polaroids
Pick a star in the sky
We could both say goodbye all night

I wish I could paint our love
These moments and vibrant hues
Wordplay, turns into gun play
And gun play turns into pillow talk
And pillow talk turns into sweet dreams
Sweet dreams turns into coffee in the morning

Coffee in the morning
I don't wanna wake you
I just wanna watch you sleep
It's the smell of your hair
And it's the way that we feel
I've never felt comfortable like this

Old souls we found a new religion
Now I'm swimming in that sin, baptism
Peach colored skies we feel the sunrise
Two lost angels discover salvation
Don't you wish we could run away now?
Yes, let's
Drugs, sex, and polaroids
Pick a star in the sky
We could both say goodbye all night

I wish I could paint our love
These moments and vibrant hues
Wordplay, turns into gun play
And gun play turns into pillow talk
And pillow talk turns into sweet dreams
Sweet dreams turns into coffee in the morning

Coffee in the morning
I don't wanna wake you
I just wanna watch you sleep
It's the smell of your hair
And it's the way that we feel
I've never felt comfortable like this

Wordplay, turns into gun play
And gun play turns into pillow talk
And pillow talk turns into sweet dreams
Sweet dreams turns into coffee in the morning

Coffee in the morning
I don't wanna wake you
I just wanna watch you sleep
It's the smell of your hair
And it's the way that we feel
I've never felt comfortable like this

Coffee in the morning
I don't wanna wake you
I just wanna watch you sleep
It's the smell of your hair
And it's the way that we feel
I've never felt comfortable like this

Old souls we found a new religion
Now I'm swimming in that sin, that's baptism
Pick a star in the sky
We could both say goodbye
Old souls we found a new religion
Now I'm swimming in that sin, that's baptism
Two lost angels discover salvation
Under glass pink skies watching the sunlight
(Fucking in the morning)
Pick a star in the sky
We could both say goodbye
(Fucking in the morning)
Pick a star in the sky
We could both say goodbye
(Fucking in the morning)
Old souls we found a new religion
Now I'm swimming in that sin, that's baptism
(Fucking in the morning)
Pick a star in the sky
We could both say goodbye
