This Briskness (Java) Lyrics

Cup of Joe, java
Have a cup of tea
He sits across from me, luminously
Cupid's crossed eyes got nothing on me, please
I woke up pretty early, girly, curly, blonde hair
Oh, I know something has to happen
But it's so cold, we pretend we're smoking
This briskness is ridiculous
I know, I know
As when I want to walk away, I won't
Don't dare take my eyes off of your lips
Now it's time to go home
Don't you know I don't want to go
I need to tell you, but I choke, no joke
Oh, I know crush's definition
But it's so cold & I can't keep from grinning
This briskness is ridiculous
I know, I know

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

One of my favorite songs ever. It makes me appreciate life despite bad circumstances.

If you ever get your hands on a copy of the 'Unicorns, Demos, B-Sides, and Rainbows' album (2005). This has a very nice acoustic version, that I also liked very much. The 'Unicorns, Demos, B-Sides, and Rainbows' album also has acoustic/demo versions of other great Zolof songs like 'There's That One Person You'll Never Get Over No Matter How Long It's Been'.

This song is so amazing. And it's meaning is simple, really. Not being able to tell your crush you like them. I've been there. I

I think it's about people (or your crush) being cold and mean.
