Earlie In the Morning
Amber Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rise like the summer breeze
Leaves from the autumn trees
That is what you bring to me
Feeling all this energy
Last night stays on my mind
Tossing sheets
I can still feel your hands on me
Flashback, then the showers on
Problem is, got me waking up all alone
I hate you in the morning
But I love you at night
I don't think that I can love you
'cuz I know it ain't right
But I just cannot help myself
I don't wanna help myself
No oh
Can't help it if I wanted to
Can't help it even if I could
Even if I could, even if I could
Baby would I do it?
Oooooh I'm addicted to it
And I just can't deny
I wish I could have you morning and night
But you ain't right
And I'm getting real tired
Of waking up all alone
I hate you in the morning
But I love you at night
I don't think that I can love you
'cuz I know it ain't right
But I just cannot help myself
I don't wanna help myself
Ohhhh I
Hate you in the morning
But I love you at night
I don't think that I can love you
'cuz I know it ain't right
But I just cannot help myself
I don't wanna help myself
Ohhhh
Hate you in the morning
Love you at night
Hate you in the morning
Love you at night
Love you at night
Love you at night




Hate you in the morning
Love you at night

Overall Meaning

In "Early In the Morning," Amber sings about a love/hate relationship with someone who she can't resist in the night but despises in the morning. The song starts off with her describing her lover's traits that resemble the changing seasons - the warmth of a summer breeze and the falling leaves of autumn trees that signify the close of a chapter. She speaks of the feelings her lover invokes in her, and although she knows it's not right, she can't help but adore them for the passion they give her.


The chorus of the song has an interesting contradiction showing the contrast in Amber's feelings - she hates that person in the morning for the situation that they have put her in, but loves them in the night for the feelings they give her. The internal conflict of wanting something that you know is wrong can't be controlled, and she acknowledges that she doesn't want to change the way she feels even if she could. The end of the song repeats the chorus, leaving the listener with a feeling of being in a tumultuous relationship with no resolution in sight.
