Lyrics
Touch me in the morning
Expressing a desire for physical affection in the morning.
Then just walk away
Suggesting a detached or fleeting encounter.
We don't have tomorrow
Highlighting the uncertainty of the future.
But we had yesterday
Reflecting on past moments and experiences.
(Hey!)
Interjection, expressing emphasis or surprise.
Wasn't it me who said that
Recalling a previous statement about the impermanence of good things.
Nothing good's gonna last forever?
Questioning the longevity of positive experiences.
And wasn't it me who said
Attributing a positive perspective to oneself.
Let's just be glad for the time together?
Advocating gratitude for the time spent together.
It must've been hard to tell me
Acknowledging difficulty in conveying that all has been given.
That you've given all you had to give
Understanding the partner's emotional exhaustion.
I can understand you're feeling that way
Sympathizing with the partner's feelings.
Everybody's got their life to live
Acknowledging the individuality of each person's path.
Well, I can say goodbye in the cold morning light
Expressing readiness to part in the morning.
But I can't watch love die in the warmth of the night
Emphasizing the unwillingness to witness the death of love at night.
If I've got to be strong
Asserting the need for strength in facing separation.
Don't you know I need to have tonight when you're gone?
Expressing the desire for a meaningful night before parting.
'Till you go I need to lie here and think about
Reflecting on the impending separation.
The last time that you'll touch me in the morning
Recalling the significance of the last morning touch.
Then just close the door
Advocating closure by closing the door after departure.
Leave me as you found me, empty like before
Desiring to remain untouched, preserving emptiness.
(Hey!)
Interjection, expressing emphasis or surprise.
Wasn't it yesterday
Recalling shared laughter and carefree moments.
We used to laugh at the wind behind us?
Reminiscing about carefree times and freedom.
Didn't we run away and hope
Recalling running away in hopes of escaping time's influence.
That time wouldn't try to find us (Didn't we run)
Recalling shared hopes of remaining undiscovered by time.
Didn't we take each other
Remembering shared exploration of uncharted territory.
To a place where no one's ever been?
Desiring closeness and intimacy.
Yeah, I really need you near me tonight
Expressing a strong need for the partner's presence.
'Cause you'll never take me there again
Acknowledging the impossibility of revisiting that special place.
Let me watch you go
Expressing willingness to let go while watching the departure.
With the sun in my eyes
Observing the departure with a hopeful outlook.
We've seen how love can grow
Reflecting on the growth and decline of love.
Now we'll see how it dies
Anticipating the end of the love story.
If I've got to be strong
Asserting the need for strength in facing separation.
Don't you know I need to have tonight when you're gone?
Expressing the desire for a meaningful night before parting.
'Till you go I need to hold you until the time
Desiring to hold onto the moment until departure.
Your hands reach out and touch me in the morning
Recalling the significance of the last morning touch.
(Mornings where blue and gold and we could feel one another living)
Adding a nostalgic and sensory dimension to the memory.
Then just walk away
Suggesting a departure without lingering.
(We walked with a dream to hold and we could take what the world was giving)
Recalling dreams and ambitions of the past.
We don't have tomorrow,
Emphasizing the absence of a certain future.
(There's no tomorrow here, there's only love and the time to chase it)
Contrasting the uncertainty of the future with the certainty of love.
But we had yesterday
Acknowledging the existence of shared memories in the past.
(But yesterday's gone my love, there's only now and it's time to face it)
Recognizing the irrevocable passage of time.
Touch me in the morning...
Reiterating the initial plea for morning affection.
