🎶 Expresso Love song analysis

The song is about a man who is deeply in love with his girlfriend, whom he believes was created for him in heaven. He loves her perfume and her taste, and would do anything to be with her. When she asks him to go for a walk with her, he is so excited that he can hardly breathe. He feels like he was made to be with her, just as a saxophone is made to go with the night. The chorus repeats that his love for her is crazy and compares it to an espresso, which excites and inflames him.
