In The Morning
Hookup Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It’s time that I know I’m racing
Problems that I know I can’t fix
These things that we burn to deal with
Those times where there’s no answers at all
Where you headed to
Can I come with you
I don’t care when or where
I’m tired of looking back now

Took you your whole life
But you’re finally living now
Take a step outside
Into the morning
The morning
The morning casts a shadow of who I really am
Andy likes to walk the streets alone
You could guess there’s not too much for him to talk about
And yet so close but so far to roll
And you’re hoping you could make it out, make it out alive
And you’re hoping you could make it out, make it out
It’s time that I know I’m racing
Problems that I know I can’t fix
These things that we burn to deal with
Those times where there’s no answers at all

The morning
In the morning
