Morning Light
Mate Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So, you complain about the weather,
with a serious look in your eyes,
baby, it won't get any better,
if you stay home I
rather go out and see
how the sun goes down to bed
and then lie awake and whisper
what a day it's been

And I won't come home tonight
but you can join me if you want to
then we will see the morning light
knowing that, we'll never forget

So people wonder where I'm heading
honestly I wouldn't know,
Just walkin' on down the streets here,
all the signs unknown
where do we go from here
the moon shines bright and I
just lie down and look back
what a beautiful time
this is, what a beautiful night this is

And I won't come home tonight
but you can join me if you want to
then we will see the morning light
knowing that, we'll never forget

Maybe I'll go to the mountains,
or swim in the big blue sea,
where there's only birds and
the silence we need

Maybe I'll go to the shore and
sleep' in the shade of the palm trees,




and then finally wake up,
and realize I didn't dream

Overall Meaning

The opening verses of Mate's song "Morning Light" speak to the idea of seizing the day, even if the weather isn't perfect. The singer urges their partner not to let bad weather keep them indoors, suggesting instead that they go out and witness the beauty of the natural world, even if it means staying out all night. The lyrics suggest a sense of awe and gratitude for the fleeting beauty of life's experiences, and seem to hint at the idea that such moments are all the more precious because they are finite.
