Morning
LP Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's just headaches and early mornings
You just come and go with no warning
You're a fairy tale in my ghost story
It's just headaches and early mornings
We were thinking of a night out, turned a night in
Wanted your body all over my skin
You were walking 'round trying to find another drink
I said just open the cupboard above the sink

And the next day we wake up, actually I wake up by myself
I see that you are gone so I pick my phone up from the shelf
I call the number you gave me but an old lady answers the phone
So I hang up and I lie back down and now I'm all alone with my
Headaches and early mornings
You just come and go with no warning
You're a fairy tale in my ghost story
It's just headaches and early mornings
Met you at the same place for the second time
I saw your pretty face with another guy
You were looking at me like the whole night and I asked you:
"Babe are you alright?"
We stepped outside and she told me she wants me to take her home
I asked her: "Who's your friend", she said she didn't want to be alone
I took my keys and took her home and left her at the door
Then I drove off and I thought to myself now you're all alone
In my headaches and early mornings
You just come and go with no warning
You're a fairy tale in my ghost story
It's just headaches and early mornings
It's just headaches and early mornings
You just come and go with no warning
You're a fairy tale in my ghost story
It's just headaches and early mornings
It's just headaches and early mornings
You just come and go with no warning

You're a fairy tale in my ghost story
It's just headaches and early mornings
