I’d love to get your thoughts on a new track I’ve been working on called “Coffee To Go.”

It’s a lighthearted, narrative-driven indie/bedroom pop song about a brief meet at a coffee shop that turns into something more. The story follows three distinct encounters - a coffee shop, a downtown bar, and a walk by the sea - where the casual nickname "coffee to go" eventually becomes a sign that the relationship isn't just temporary anymore. I hope you like it.


COFFEE TO GO

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse]
Walked in for a cup one sunny day
She caught my eye, I looked away
Sun in her hair, eyes bright and blue
She asked, “What can I get for you?”

[Verse]
I said, “A coffee, please — to go”
She handed it over, nice and slow
Took my cup and walked outside
But left my heart there by her side

[Chorus]
Coffee to go, coffee to go
That little cup set my heart aglow
One little smile, a quick “hello”
And just like that, I’m falling slow

Coffee to go, coffee to go
Who knew love could start with that “hello”?
One quick glance and now I know
I fell in love with coffee to go

[Break]

[Verse]
Later that night at a downtown bar
I saw her, she looked like a movie star
She walked right over, laughed at me
“Hey there, coffee to go,” said she

[Verse]
We talked a while, in the neon glow
I wanted to ask, but I moved too slow
Night came to a close, but before I could go
She waved and said, “See you, coffee to go”

[Chorus]
Coffee to go, coffee to go
That little cup set my heart aglow
One little smile, a quick “hello”
And just like that, I’m falling slow

Coffee to go, coffee to go
Who knew love could start with that “hello”?
One quick glance and now I know
I fell in love with coffee to go

[Verse]
Two days later, down by the sea
She turned around and spotted me
Walking the tide in the afternoon light
Everything suddenly felt so right

[Verse]
I found my nerve and took her hand
“Can I buy you a drink down by the sand”
She laughed and said, “You already know”
But this time, let’s not make it to go

[Bridge]
It wasn't planned, it wasn't slow
It started with a cup to go
A simple spark, a sudden light
Turned a quiet day into something bright

[Interlude]
(Coffee to go)
(To go, to go, to go)
(Coffee to go)
(To go, to go, to go)

[Final Chorus]
Coffee to go, coffee to go
That little cup set my heart aglow
One little smile, a quick “hello”
And just like that, I’m falling slow

Coffee to go, coffee to go
Who knew love could start with that “hello”?
One quick glance and now I know
I fell in love with coffee to go

[Outro]
(Coffee to go)
(To go, to go, to go)
(Coffee to go)
