See You in the Morning
Nocturnal Love Chronicles: Embracing Sweet Dreams and Uncertain Hearts
Lyrics
I have seen your face washed in the dawning light
I have observed your face illuminated by the early morning light
We stayed up too late with the moon still in the sky
We stayed awake until late, even with the moon still visible in the sky
Light the fireplace and close the curtains tight
Light the fireplace and close the curtains tightly, creating a cozy and intimate atmosphere
We can make believe that we can stay up all night
We can pretend that we have the ability to stay awake all night
Laughin' talkin' now, we choke the whiskey down
Laughing and talking, sharing moments while consuming whiskey
It's a good old fashion crush, we both got to work out
Expressing a mutual romantic interest, but acknowledging the need to work through challenges
We fall too easily, we both fall in love too fast
We tend to fall in love quickly and easily
If it's any consolation, I don't see how this can last
If there's any comfort, the speaker doesn't see how this relationship can endure
We'll fight our tired eyes with uncertain hearts
We will combat our fatigue with uncertain emotions
Play and hide
Playing and hiding, perhaps referring to emotional vulnerability
Then I'll see you in the morning
The speaker anticipates seeing their partner in the morning
Peaceful paradise, you're such a lovely sight
Describing the partner as a peaceful paradise and a delightful sight
I don't stay because I have to
The speaker doesn't stay with the partner out of obligation but by choice
I wouldn't want to sleep through the sweetest of sweet dreams
Expressing the desire not to miss the most beautiful dreams by sleeping through them
Now your hungry hands are searching me up and down
Partner's hands exploring the speaker, offering all they can with a playful attitude
I'll give you all I can, I'll give you the runaround
The speaker is willing to provide what they can but may be evasive
'Cause what I get from you could never be quite enough
Acknowledging that what the speaker receives may never be enough
I'm insatiable when it comes to your love
The speaker is insatiable when it comes to the love received from their partner
We'll fight our tired eyes with uncertain hearts
Similar to line 11, dealing with tiredness using uncertain emotions
Play and hide
Continuation of the theme of playing and hiding
Then I'll see you in the morning
Anticipation of seeing the partner in the morning, repeating the idea of a peaceful paradise
Peaceful paradise, you're such a lovely sight
Reiterating the partner's loveliness as a sight in the peaceful paradise
I don't stay because I have to
Choice not to stay out of obligation, emphasizing it's by desire
I wouldn't want to sleep through the sweetest of sweet dreams
Reaffirming the wish not to miss the sweetest dreams by staying awake
And if I hold out in the morning
If the speaker holds out until the morning, they won't question it and will kiss the partner before leaving
Oh I won't question it, just kiss you and walk away
Commitment to not questioning the situation, just kissing and walking away
And I don't stay because I have to
Choice not to stay out of obligation, reiterating the voluntary nature of staying
I wouldn't want to sleep through the sweetest of sweet dreams
Emphasizing the preference not to sleep through the most delightful dreams
