Monday Morning
Reviving Love's Embrace: Navigating Life's Storms with John Clifton
Lyrics
Monday morning rolls around
Reflecting on the start of the week, a symbolic beginning.
And she wakes up in her bed
The woman wakes up in her bed, suggesting a new day.
She's wondering what she did last night
Contemplating her actions from the previous night.
It's turning over in her head
Thoughts and memories from the night before linger in her mind.
It's three A.M I'm wide awake
The narrator is awake at 3 A.M., pondering recent events.
Wondering what went down last night
Reflecting on what transpired during the night.
With everything we had at stake
Acknowledging a significant conflict with high stakes.
We've been caught up in the fight
Being entangled in a serious dispute or struggle.
Time goes by so fast, wonder what it takes to make it last
Time passes quickly, questioning what sustains a relationship.
Wonder how we can get it back
Contemplating ways to reclaim what has been lost.
To that place where we were right
Desiring a return to a harmonious and right state.
Calmed the storms and eased the tide
Recalling a time of tranquility, resolving conflicts, and calming emotions.
You and i were so alive
Expressing a past period of vitality and connection.
And everything was fine
Reminiscing about a time when everything was satisfactory.
Separate us from ourselves
External factors causing a separation from one's true self.
Trying to find a better way
Struggling to find a better way amid challenges.
Who we are and what we've done
Reflection on personal identity and past actions hindering progress.
It all gets in the way
Obstacles and past experiences interfering with the present.
Time goes by so fast, wonder what it takes to make it last
Reiterating the swiftness of time, emphasizing the quest for longevity.
Wonder how we can get it back
Exploring ways to restore what has been lost over time.
To that place where we were right
A yearning for a return to a state of righteousness.
Calmed the storms and eased the tide
Recalling moments of calming disturbances and restoring balance.
You and i were so alive
Reviving memories of being alive and connected with someone.
We were so alive
Emphasizing the vibrancy and vitality of a past connection.
We were so alive
Repetition highlighting the intensity of being alive together.
It's three A.M I'm wide awake
The narrator, once again awake at 3 A.M., struggles with obstacles.
And it all gets in my way
External factors continue to hinder progress.
Time goes by so fast, wonder what it takes to make it last
Reiterating the fleeting nature of time and the desire for longevity.
Wonder how we can get it back
Contemplating strategies to regain what has been lost.
To that place where we were right
Aspiring to return to a state of harmony and righteousness.
Calmed the storms and eased the tide
Recalling the ability to calm disturbances and ease challenges.
You and i were so alive
Reminiscing about a time when the narrator and the other were alive together.
Time goes by so fast, wonder what it takes to make it last
Reiterating the swift passage of time and the quest for lasting connections.
Wonder how we can get it back
Exploring ways to recover a lost state of harmony.
To that place where we were right
A longing to return to a time of being right and connected.
Calmed the storms and eased the tide
Reflecting on calming storms and easing tides in a past relationship.
You and i were so alive
Reviving memories of being alive and in sync with another person.
And everything was fine
Emphasizing that everything was fine during that particular time.
