Lyrics
Up the morning, up, up the morning
Repetition of "Up the morning" suggests the start of a new day or a fresh beginning, possibly with a positive or energetic connotation.
Up the morning, up, up the morning
-Up the morning, up, up the morning
-Up the morning, up, up the morning
-Up the morning, up, up the morning
-Everytime I see your face
Expresses a sense of sadness and the pursuit of love, even though the subject of affection may not reciprocate. The mention of walking alone indicates a feeling of solitude or loneliness.
It makes me sad, it makes me chase
-Chase my love across the world
-Even though you're not it's taste
-Simple, evil, I don't walk alone
-Everytime I see your face
Continues to describe the emotional impact of seeing the person's face, causing both sadness and a longing wait. Despite the person being "over," the singer seems resigned and accepting of the situation.
It makes me cry, it makes me wait
-Waited far too long
-And you were over me
-But it's ok, cause I know, where you will go, I will go
-Up the morning, up, up the morning
Reiteration of the refrain "Up the morning," emphasizing the theme of facing a new day or overcoming challenges.
Up the morning, up, up the morning
-Up the morning, up, up the morning
-Up the morning
-Up the morning
-Up the morning, up, up the morning
-And if I, if I could go
Reflects on the desire to go back in time, possibly to change past actions or decisions. The mention of "nights and fights" suggests regrets and the challenges faced, with a sense of confusion about where a person should go.
Back in time
-And if I, if I could go
-Back in time
-I'd go to show, what did I show?
-I would not show
-The nights and the fights when I came rumbling out the door
-Well what was I supposed to do?
-Where's a boy supposed to, supposed to go?
-Up the morning, up, up the morning
Repeats the chorus, reinforcing the idea of facing the morning and the continuation of life despite regrets or challenges.
Up the morning, up, up the morning
-Up the morning, up, up the morning
-Up the morning, up, up the morning
-Up the morning, up, up the morning
