After Coffee is Joywave’s lead single from their upcoming fourth LP, Cleanse. The song describes the narrator’s prosaic life and accompanying fear to take a jump and leave everything behind.
[Verse 1]
This morning was lovely, I woke up in my bed again
I poured the granola, I got out the butter and bread
I reached in the cupboard for sugar and vitamin C
I threw out a tablet of expired Dramamine
[Chorus]
After coffee, sitting all alone in thought
Wondering if I should give it up
Move away and find a little spot on the coast
No reception and my secret goes unknown
[Post-Chorus]
But I'm too scared to jump
Yeah, I'm too scared to jump
Yeah, I'm too scared to jump
[Verse 2]
This morning was perfect, the cat woke me quarter to ten
You turned on Nintendo whilе we discussed governmеnt
[Chorus]
After coffee, sitting all alone in thought
Wondering if I should give it up
Move away and find a little spot on the coast
No reception and my secret goes unknown
[Post-Chorus]
But I'm too scared to jump
Yeah, I'm too scared to jump
Yeah, I'm too scared to jump
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
After coffee, sitting all alone in thought
Wondering if I should give it up
Move away and find a little spot on the coast
No reception and my secret goes unknown
[Post-Chorus]
But I'm too scared to jump
Yeah, I'm too scared to jump
Yeah, I'm too scared to jump
[Outro]
I'm too scared to jump
Yeah, I'm too scared to jump
Yeah, I'm too scared to jump
Yeah, I'm too scared to jump
