Lyrics
Quiet mornings won't be the same
Quiet mornings are now different, marked by a change.
Window light pouring down on your face
Soft morning light illuminates your face through the window.
Everything's perfect and right in its place
Everything is in perfect order and fitting harmoniously.
For a moment, I can't look away
There's a captivating moment where I can't divert my gaze.
But there's a light and there's a tunnel
There's hope represented by light and a metaphorical tunnel.
And you know what that means
Awareness of the inevitable journey that follows the light.
If you stayed, you'd be an angel
If you choose to stay, you would become an angel.
With a broken wing
The angel metaphor carries a poignant detail of having a broken wing.
Every end has a middle
Each conclusion or ending has a transitional phase.
We're just stuck inbetween
We are currently in the midst of that transitional phase.
If you stayed, you'd be an angel
If you decide to remain, you would transform into an angel.
With a broken wing
Reiteration of the angelic imagery with a broken wing.
I know you're worried, but don't be afraid
Acknowledgment of concerns but an encouragement to not be afraid.
We saw this coming a million miles away
The foreseeability of the situation from a considerable distance.
And though it's not easy to give you away
Despite the difficulty, there is a place for you, a lasting connection.
You will always have a place
Assurance that you will always have a place.
But there's a light, and there's a tunnel
Reiteration of the symbolism of light and a tunnel.
And you know what that means
If you remain, you would become an angel with a broken wing.
If you stayed, you'd be an angel
Restating the angelic transformation in the context of a journey.
With a broken wing
With acknowledgment that every conclusion has a transitional phase.
Every end has a middle
We are currently in that transitional phase.
We're just stuck in between
If you choose to stay, you would become an angel.
If you stayed, you'd be an angel
Once again highlighting the angelic transformation with a broken wing.
With a broken wing
Reiteration of the concept of an angel with a broken wing.
Ahh
(Instrumental sound or a vocalization)
Fly away, it doesn't change a thing
The act of flying away doesn't alter the situation or circumstances.
Ooh
(Expressive sound or vocalization)
If you stay you know you'll never leave
If you choose to stay, you understand that leaving is not an option.
Ooh
(Expressive sound or vocalization)
And if the light in the tunnel
Referring to the light in the tunnel that may lead back to a reunion.
Brings you back to me
If the light brings you back, the return would be as an angel.
You come home as an angel
The returning figure is envisioned as an angel with both wings intact.
With both your wings
Reiteration of the return as an angel, emphasizing both wings.
You come home as an angel
Reaffirmation of the idea of coming home as an angel.
With both your wings
The conclusive return portrayed with both wings intact.
