All the Mornings
Embracing the Unknown: All the Mornings by Mark HoustonLyrics
I never dreamed that I would be the one you'd listen to
I never expected to be the person you confide in or seek advice from.
When the nights grow old, and the sun comes up again
During challenging times and when a new day begins, we share our experiences.
Telling stories in the dark of days we've wandered far
Recalling memories in the darkness of days we've journeyed far.
And the places we felt so alone
Reflecting on moments when we felt isolated and lonely in certain places.
So won't you take me there and make the memories fade
Inviting the listener to join in creating new memories and letting go of the past.
As I turn the other page
Turning the metaphorical page, suggesting a new chapter or phase in life.
Here's to all the mornings I wake not knowing who I am
Toasting to the uncertainty of waking up without a clear sense of identity in the mornings.
Pain only comes in waves, that's what you say
Expressing that pain is transient and comes and goes like waves, as per the listener's perspective.
Cause when I'm feeling hopeless, cold, and afraid
When feeling lost and scared, the listener provides support and stands by the speaker.
You stand up for me
Acknowledging the listener's loyalty and defense in difficult times.
It's so much easier to see what I don't want to be in the light of your eyes
It's easier to recognize undesirable traits about oneself when seen through the eyes of the listener.
So don't you turn away
Urging the listener not to look away, suggesting a plea for continued support.
You know I'm not really known for putting words to feelings
The speaker is not known for expressing emotions verbally, but with the listener, it feels unnecessary.
But with you I feel no need
Feeling a sense of comfort and completeness with the listener, eliminating the need for words.
So won't you take me there and make the ghosts in the hallway fade
Asking the listener to help overcome lingering issues and memories, letting go of the past.
As I turn to walk away
Turning away from haunting memories and moving forward.
Because I don't know what I'd do without your love
Expressing dependence on the listener's love and support.
On the day of the dark parade
Referencing a difficult day or challenging event, the "dark parade."
Here's to all the mornings I wake not knowing who I am
Reiterating the theme of waking up without a clear sense of identity.
Drifting far beyond the waves, that's where we'll stay
Desiring to stay together even in challenging and uncertain times.
Cause when I'm feeling hopeless, cold, and afraid
When feeling lost and scared, the listener provides support and stands by the speaker (repeated theme).
You stand up
Acknowledging the listener's consistent support and defense.
Oh you stand up for me
Reiterating the listener's standing up for the speaker, emphasizing gratitude.
