Morning After
DVSN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everyone's calling you to get some time
It can wait 'til the morning
The world is safer from where we're both inside
Tell me what it's gonna take for you to stay
You ain't gotta do a thing
No, you can just lay here with me tonight
I know you think it must be the alcohol
And yeah, I've been drinking, no, it ain't that at all
Is it you? Is it me? Is it both of us?
And now that we're comfortable
I really gotta know, if you don't wanna come
You're the one I want, one I want to stay
I really wanna know, if you don't wanna come
You're the one I want, one I want to stay the morning
One I want to stay the morning
One I want to stay the morning
And after we wake in the morning
My mind is still on the little things we did
I know when we was talking, to worryin'
Oh that's not the way to live
Tell me what it's gonna take for you to stay
You ain't gotta do a thing
No, you can just lay here with me tonight
You can just lay here, roll up and stare
I know you think it must be the alcohol
And yeah, I've been drinking, no, it ain't that at all
Is it you? Is it me? Is it both of us?
And now that we're comfortable
I really gotta know, if you don't wanna come
You're the one I want, one I want to stay
I really wanna know, if you don't wanna come
You're the one I want, one I want to stay the morning
One I want to stay the morning
One I want to stay the morning
I really gotta know, if you don't wanna come
You're the one I want, one I want to stay
I really wanna know, if you don't wanna come
You're the one I want, one I want to stay the morning
One I want to stay the morning
One I want to stay the morning
I really wanna know
I really gotta know
(One I want to stay)
I really wanna know
I really gotta know
I really gotta know
One I want to stay the morning
One I want to stay the morning
One I want to stay the morning
(Yeah)
(One I want to stay)
(Ooh, stay the morning)
(Oh no, oh no)
The lyrics of "Morning After" by DVSN depict a moment of uncertainty and vulnerability between two people after a night of intimacy. As the morning comes, the singer pleads with their partner to stay and spend more time together. The external world is seen as a disruption, and the desire to prolong the intimacy inside the closed doors is evident in the first verse. The lyrics, "Tell me what it's gonna take for you to stay, you ain't gotta do a thing, no, you can just lay here with me tonight," suggest that the singer is willing to do whatever it takes just to have their partner stay.
In the chorus, the singer emphasizes their desire for their partner to stay, despite the possible complications that may arise. The lyrics, "I really gotta know if you don't wanna come, you're the one I want, one I want to stay the morning," highlight the singer's desperation for their partner's presence. It is unclear what the obstacles may be that prevent the partner from staying, as the lyrics, "Is it you? Is it me? Is it both of us?" suggest that it could be a combination of factors. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, conveying the singer's hope that their partner will choose to stay.
Overall, "Morning After" portrays the emotional complexities of intimacy, as the singer seeks to reconcile their desire for closeness with the possibility of rejection. It is a poignant reminder of the vulnerability and risk involved in opening oneself up to another person.

Really wish you weren’t underrated, but these songs are more valuable the less people know.
