Tuesday Morning
Michelle Branch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I remember stormy weather
The way the sky looks when it's cold
And you were with me
Content with walking
So unaware of the worlds

Please don't drive me home tonight
'cause I don't want to feel alone
Please don't drive me home tonight
'cause I don't want to go
Tuesday morning
In the dark
I was finding out
Who you are

I took your picture
While you were sleeping
And then I paced around the room
If I had known then
That these things happen
Would they have happened with you?

Please don't drive me home tonight
'cause I don't want to feel alone
Please don't drive me home tonight
'cause I don't want to go
Tuesday morning
In the dark
I was finding out
Who you are

And if you turned around to see me and I was gone
You should have looked outside your window
'cause the sun was coming up

Please don't drive me home tonight
'cause I don't want to feel alone

Tuesday morning
In the dark
We were finding out
Who we are
Tuesday morning
In the dark




We were finding out
Who we are

Overall Meaning

The song Tuesday Morning by Michelle Branch is a reflective and introspective song about a past relationship. The lyrics are imbued with nostalgia as the singer remembers the stormy weather and being in the company of her lover, walking and being blissfully unaware of the world around them. The line "The way the sky looks when it's cold" seems to refer to a moment of clarity amidst the confusion of the relationship. The singer begs her lover not to drive her home because she doesn't want to feel alone, which could indicate a fear of losing the connection they share.


The chorus repeats the same lines, each time more fervently, as if pleading with the lover to stay. The second verse takes a turn towards regret as the singer reflects on taking a picture of her lover while he was sleeping and pacing around the room. She wonders if things would have happened differently if she had known that events would lead up to this point. The song ends with a sense of uncertainty, asking the lover to not let her feel alone and asserting that they were both finding out who they are in that early Tuesday morning darkness.


Line by Line Meaning

I remember stormy weather
I recall a time of intense emotions and disruption


The way the sky looks when it's cold
The sky was the color of grey and depression


And you were with me
You were my companion through this difficult time


Content with walking
We were content in each other's company, even as we walked through dark times


So unaware of the worlds
Together, we were oblivious to the rest of the world and its problems


Please don't drive me home tonight, 'cause I don't want to feel alone
I am afraid of being alone and seek your presence for comfort


Please don't drive me home tonight, 'cause I don't want to go
I don't want to leave your company and go back to facing my problems alone


Tuesday morning, In the dark, I was finding out who you are
In the quiet and dark of the morning, I was learning more about you as a person


I took your picture, While you were sleeping
I captured a moment of intimacy between us while you were vulnerable and asleep


And then I paced around the room
The intensity of my feelings left me restless and unable to sit still


If I had known then, That these things happen, Would they have happened with you?
In retrospect, would I still have shared this experience with you if I knew what would happen?


And if you turned around to see me and I was gone, You should have looked outside your window, 'cause the sun was coming up
If I left without saying goodbye, you would find some comfort in the dawning of a new day


Tuesday morning, In the dark, We were finding out who we are
Together, we discovered more about ourselves as we navigated this difficult time

This is probably the best and most powerful song from her album. I haven't listened to this song for a while but this was the one by her that always stuck with me since the mid-2000s.

@evanhalsey1844

This is one of my favorite songs by Michelle Branch. It gives me the message that I'm always finding out who I am. That's definitely something I'll never stop learning throughout this life.

@soapynop

I played this song to my girlfriend on our first date. Nine years later she's my awesome wife.

@jimmyg8692

great choice

@ericbarash6842

That’s the way it works.

@meisterigi007

Sana all

@Laineyface

Seems like kind of a sad song for a date. I always interpeted it as her reminiscing over a relationship that didn't work out.

@robertorlandoblea6650

Never heard this song before. Adding it to my collection of Tuesday songs.
