"Café Crush" : FAWM

Café Crush

There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

#lyricsonly #needsmusic Lyrics: Another song narrative that comes from a tarot reading. I tried to go all in with the nervous repetition, a technique I hardly ever use.

Lyrics

Everyone’s been talking Talking about the mango tea The same way they’ve been talking Talking about you and me

Yeah we’ve been seen here Seen here more than twice They say we make a cute pair With the straws and the crushed ice

And if I’m a café crush I can be a café crush

Your drink looks good Yeah your drink looks so nice And of course it would Our drinks are made from the same ice

Now what was I talking about Oh yeah the mango Wouldn’t it be wild to see How mangoes actually grow

I know it gets here in a bottle Which means it gets here from a factory Which means it’s more than half sugar Like the way that you are looking at me

And if you’re a café crush You can be a café crush

Your drink looks good Yeah your drink looks so nice And of course it would Our drinks are made from the same ice

The problem with summer is Before you know it ends And then what becomes Of your summer friends

Your drink looks good Yeah your drink looks so nice And of course it would Our drinks are made from the same ice

"more than half sugar Like the way that you are looking at me" love that line 😄 And yes, cafe crush is a great phrase. Great skirmish.

I love “cafe crush” as a phrase, and the chorus lines about being made with the same ice. Cool (no pun intended) write!

I hear reggae for this one. What melody do you have in mind?

The repetition is for the most part, coy, which really works. In the verses the repeating lines are transformed just enough to sound different, but in agreement with each other. Sort of like flirtation?
