Touch Me in the Morning
Embracing the Ephemeral: A Poignant Journey of Love and Loss
Lyrics
Touch me in the morning
Desire for physical intimacy in the morning
Then just walk away
Suggesting a casual departure after the encounter
We don't have tomorrow
Recognition that there may not be a future together
But we had yesterday
Nostalgia for the past, acknowledging previous shared moments
(Hey!)
Expressing surprise or attention grabber
Wasn't it me who said that
Recalling a past statement about impermanence
Nothing good's gonna last forever?
Acknowledging the transient nature of all good things
And wasn't it me who said
Remembering a commitment to cherish the time together
Let's just be glad for the time together?
Encouraging gratitude for the shared moments
It must've been hard to tell me
Understanding the difficulty of communicating giving all
That you've given all you had to give
Accepting that the partner has exhausted their emotional resources
I can understand you're feeling that way
Empathizing with the partner's emotional state
Everybody's got their life to live
Acknowledging that everyone has their individual paths to follow
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
Reluctance to witness the end of love in the night
If I've got to be strong
Desire to be emotionally strong
Don't you know I need to have tonight when you're gone?
Expressing the need for a special night before separation
'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 morning touch
Then just close the door
Suggesting closure by closing the door
Leave me as you found me, empty like before
Desire to be left untouched, similar to before the relationship
(Hey!)
Repeating the attention grabber
Wasn't it yesterday
Reflecting on joyful moments from the past
We used to laugh at the wind behind us?
Recalling carefree times
Didn't we run away and hope
Describing a shared desire to escape time
That time wouldn't try to find us (Didn't we run)
Questioning the inevitability of time catching up
Didn't we take each other
Remembering a journey to an unexplored place together
To a place where no one's ever been?
Recalling the uniqueness of a shared experience
Yeah, I really need you near me tonight
Expressing a current need for closeness
'Cause you'll never take me there again
Acknowledging the impossibility of reliving a past experience
Let me watch you go
Allowing the partner to leave
With the sun in my eyes
Watching the departure with a heavy heart
We've seen how love can grow
Reflecting on the growth of love
Now we'll see how it dies
Anticipating the end of love
If I've got to be strong
Reaffirming the emotional strength required
Don't you know I need to have tonight when you're gone?
Expressing the need for a special night
'Till you go I need to hold you until the time
Desiring to hold onto the partner until departure
Your hands reach out and touch me in the morning
Recalling the significance of the morning touch
(Mornings where blue and gold and we could feel one another living)
Reflecting on the beauty of shared mornings
Then just walk away
Suggesting a simple departure after reflecting on shared dreams
(We walked with a dream to hold and we could take what the world was giving)
Recalling shared dreams and the ability to seize opportunities
We don't have tomorrow,
Reiterating the uncertainty of the future
(There's no tomorrow here, there's only love and the time to chase it)
Emphasizing the presence of love and the limited time to pursue it
But we had yesterday
Acknowledging the existence of past moments
(But yesterday's gone my love, there's only now and it's time to face it)
Recognizing the irreversibility of past events
Touch me in the morning...
Reiterating the desire for morning intimacy
