I May Hate Myself in the Morning
Late Night Regrets and Love's Redemption: I May Hate Myself in the Morning
Lyrics
Ain't it just like one of us
Acknowledging a typical behavior from either person involved
To pick up the phone
Initiating contact by making a phone call
And call after a couple of Drinks
Reaching out after consuming alcohol
And say, "How you been? I been wonderin'
Asking about the other person's well-being and expressing curiosity
If maybe you've been thinkin' 'bout me"
Suggesting a possibility that the other person might be thinking about them
And somewhere in the conversation,
Describing a familiar scenario in their conversations
An old familiar invitation always arrives
Noting the recurrence of a particular invitation or topic
And I may hate myself in the morning
Anticipating regret for actions the next day
But I'm gonna love you tonight
Choosing to enjoy the current moment despite potential consequences
Everyone's known someone
Referring to a universal experience of desiring someone
That they just can't help but want
Expressing an irresistible attraction to someone
And even though we just can't make it work out
Acknowledging difficulties in making the relationship work
Well the want-to lingers on
Highlighting the persistence of desire despite challenges
So once again we wind up in each other's arms
Repeating a cycle of physical closeness
Pretending that it's right
Pretending that the situation is acceptable or normal
And I may hate myself in the morning
Reiterating the expectation of regret the next day
But I'm gonna love you tonight
Reaffirming the decision to indulge in the present moment
I know it's wrong
Admitting the awareness of wrongdoing
But it ain't easy moving on
Expressing the difficulty of moving on from the past
So why can't two friends
Pleading for a return to positive memories between friends
Remember the good times once again?
Suggesting a desire to relive good times with the other person
Tomorrow when I wake up
Anticipating feelings of guilt and sadness upon waking up
I'll be feeling a little guilty, a little sad
Describing emotional aftermath in the morning
Thinkin' how it used to be before everything went bad
Reflecting on how things used to be before the decline
And I guess that's what it is
Summarizing the essence of the situation
In lonely late night calls like this, that we try to find
Seeking connection in lonely moments, like late-night calls
And I may hate myself in the morning
Repeating the anticipation of self-hatred in the morning
But I'm gonna love you tonight
Reaffirming the decision to embrace the current night
I may hate myself in the morning
Restating the expected self-loathing in the morning
But I'm gonna love you tonight
Reiterating the commitment to love the other person tonight
