Morning
Lovett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whisper to me that you want me
Arms around me
Whisper to me that you want me
There's nothing here to be afraid of
It's just the morning
Stop you talking
Into the night now don't you worry
Into the night now don't you worry
There's nothing here to be afraid of
It's just the morning
It's just the morning
The coffee's almost done
You can smell it crawling in here from the kitchen
It's just the morning
Falling through the window
And the floor it's always cold
If you see me
Can you tell me if I'm sleeping
If you hear me
Can you tell me what I'm dreaming
There's nothing here to be afraid of
It's just the morning
It's just the morning
The coffee's almost done
You can smell it crawling in here from the kitchen
It's just the morning
Falling through the window
And the floor it's always cold
So lie beside me
Whisper to me that you want me
Arms around me
Whisper to me that you know me
There's nothing here to be afraid of
It's just the morning
The song “Morning” by Lyle Lovett presents a soothing and romantic message, encouraging the listener to embrace the morning with open arms. It begins with the singer asking their loved one to lie beside them and whisper that they want them. The intimacy continues as the two embrace, with the singer reassuring their partner that there is nothing to fear about the morning. Instead, it should be welcomed and savored. The coffee brewing in the kitchen symbolizes the fresh start that each new day can bring. The singer also questions their own reality, unsure if they are sleeping or dreaming, adding an interesting layer to the song's meaning.
On a deeper level, the song may represent a fear of change or uncertainty about the future. The morning is often seen as a new beginning and a chance to start fresh, but it can also be daunting and overwhelming. The lyrics suggest that by embracing the morning and being vulnerable with their partner, the singer is able to overcome this fear and make the most of each day.
