Kaffee Warm 3 [English translation]

1

you're with me again

nobody but you

manages to juggle with words that good 2

so that I'm spinning, myself, with every sentence

you're right, everything has already been said, actually

and you're asking if I'll stay until tomorrow

I'm tired already

it would be nice if you stayed upstairs

the old pattern is easy to knit

but eats us alive

every butterfly from back then

only moths inside the stomach

(chorus)

and the gut feeling greets you once again

and it always stings from the side

when your head's already on the ground

and then everything's out there again

only honest with myself, the idiot I am

when it's not worth it at all anymore

why are you looking at me like that?

as if there was anything here

that could change our world

I can't do it

I'm asking myself what you are waiting for

you're searching for your fault

in the coffee not being warm anymore

we tried it

ripped open the filter

searched through the grind

waited for three years

cursed Febuary 3

brewed up everything once more

but you were nowhere

(chorus)

and the gut feeling greets you once again

and it always stings from the side

when your head's already on the ground

and then everything's out there again

only honest with myself, the idiot I am

when it's not worth it at all anymore

I just want you to know, that I know, what I want 4

1. the german title which is "Kaffee Warm 3" doesn't make sense all on it's own, so the translation seems weird. it's a shortened version of one sentence from the chorus of "Kaffee Warm (1)" which is "I keep the coffee warm for you" 2. the literal translation would be "nobody but you manages to juggle with words better" which doesn't make any sense because the german sentence is gramatically incorrect. 3. in their song 'Februar' (="Febuary") they talk about how they want Febuary gone. The chorus states: "Reiß die Tage aus, dann im nächsten Jahr 28 weniger, endlich nie mehr Februar" which translates to "Rip out the days [pages of a calender], and next year there's 28 less [days], finally, there's no Febuary ever again" 4. this is a reference to a song they did a few years ago called "Kaffee Warm" in which a similar sentence stated "I don't want you to know that I don't know what I want", so this line shows personal growth.
