Touch Me in the Morning
Embracing Love's Transience
Lyrics
Touch me in the morning
Expressing a desire for physical affection in the morning.
Then just walk away
Suggesting a detached or casual approach after the morning interaction.
We don't have tomorrow
Emphasizing the uncertainty of the future.
But we had yesterday
Reflecting on past experiences, acknowledging the existence of shared history.
(Hey!)
An exclamation, possibly indicating surprise or realization.
Wasn't it me who said that
Recalling a previous statement about impermanence and the fleeting nature of good things.
Nothing good's gonna last forever?
Questioning the longevity of positive experiences.
And wasn't it me who said
Recalling an earlier suggestion to appreciate the present time together.
Let's just be glad for the time together?
Encouraging gratitude for the time spent together.
It must've been hard to tell me
Suggesting difficulty in communicating that one has given their all in the relationship.
That you've given all you had to give
Acknowledging the partner's effort and sacrifice in the relationship.
I can understand you're feeling that way
Recognizing the partner's emotional state.
Everybody's got their life to live
Asserting that everyone has their own life to lead.
Well, I can say goodbye in the cold morning light
Expressing willingness to part ways in the morning.
But I can't watch love die in the warmth of the night
Refusing to witness the decline of love during the night.
If I've got to be strong
Emphasizing the need for emotional strength.
Don't you know I need to have tonight when you're gone?
Expressing a desire for a meaningful night before separation.
'Till you go I need to lie here and think about
Reflecting on the impending separation and cherishing the remaining time.
The last time that you'll touch me in the morning
Recalling the significance of the morning touch.
Then just close the door
Indicating a preference for a clean break in the morning.
Leave me as you found me, empty like before
Desiring to remain unchanged after the departure.
(Hey!)
Another exclamation, possibly expressing emphasis.
Wasn't it yesterday
Reflecting on shared laughter and carefree times in the past.
We used to laugh at the wind behind us?
Remembering carefree moments and running away from challenges.
Didn't we run away and hope
Expressing hope that time wouldn't catch up with their happiness.
That time wouldn't try to find us (Didn't we run)
Recalling a joint decision to escape together.
Didn't we take each other
Sharing a unique and intimate experience with the partner.
To a place where no one's ever been?
Expressing the desire to be close to the partner.
Yeah, I really need you near me tonight
Stating a current need for the partner's presence.
'Cause you'll never take me there again
Recognizing that certain experiences may never be replicated.
Let me watch you go
Expressing a willingness to let go while observing the departure.
With the sun in my eyes
Referring to the physical departure and facing reality.
We've seen how love can grow
Acknowledging the growth of love and preparing for its decline.
Now we'll see how it dies
Anticipating the end of the relationship and its consequences.
If I've got to be strong
Reiterating the need for emotional strength.
Don't you know I need to have tonight when you're gone?
Expressing a desire for a significant night before separation.
'Till you go I need to hold you until the time
Longing to hold the partner until departure.
Your hands reach out and touch me in the morning
Revisiting the significance of the morning touch.
(Mornings where blue and gold and we could feel one another living)
Recalling vibrant and intimate mornings with the partner.
Then just walk away
Reiterating the idea of a casual departure after morning intimacy.
(We walked with a dream to hold and we could take what the world was giving)
Recalling shared dreams and a willingness to face the world together.
We don't have tomorrow,
Repeating the notion that the future is uncertain.
(There's no tomorrow here, there's only love and the time to chase it)
Emphasizing the present moment as an opportunity for love.
But we had yesterday
Acknowledging the existence of past experiences.
(But yesterday's gone my love, there's only now and it's time to face it)
Stating that the past is gone, and it's time to confront the present.
Touch me in the morning...
