Morning Light
Mitchell Lawler Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Stepping in that morning light
Got my shoes in my hands, I got no baby
Story of my fucking life
I pulled up in the spot for a coffee
My hair long and swanging you can spot me
You staring down at your drink speaking softly
Suddenly you never wear a mask
Maybe it won't last, but I ain't gonna ask
You tellin' me your goals as you point at a map
I find it kinda funny cause I met you an app
And you laugh at my jokes yeah my words working
Somehow your head on my chest as the birds chirping
And that's alright with me
But where will this go is this all it might be?
I'd be down with more than friends, are you?
You can hit my line or play it cool
No getting dressed 'cause we run it back
But we part ways soon as the sun is back
I can see myself out, thanks though, baby
Stepping in that morning light
Got my shoes in my hands, I got no baby
Story of my fucking life
I ain't got no one but I got you
You always got a vibe when I stop through
You can leave me on read, it's cool, I got you
Maybe not your main but shit I'm in your top two
Something special, some little different
Our homies don't know, no they wouldn't get it
I love every moment of your time when I'm in it
God damn, I'm in another world when I hit it
Every time is still as sweet as the first one
And girl, to me that's worth something
It plays back in my head when you not around
But its hard when you give a run around
So I get it if you got to break it off
I'll pretend it like won't it hurt and play it off
We can call quits yeah we can lay it off
But you know I love to go and see you when you take it off, but
I can see myself out, thanks though, baby
Stepping in that morning light
Got my shoes in my hands, I got no baby
Story of my fucking life
The song "Morning Light" by Mitchell Lawler tells the story of a casual relationship or fling that exists only in the early morning hours. The singer finds themselves leaving, stepping out into the morning light, because they have no obligations or commitments. It seems to be a recurring theme in their life, as they describe it as the story of their "fucking life."
The lyrics paint a picture of a chance encounter at a coffee shop, where the singer and their love interest strike up a conversation. They have a genuine connection, with the love interest sharing their goals and dreams while pointing at a map. Despite meeting through an app, they have real moments of intimacy and connection, as symbolized by the love interest resting their head on the singer's chest as birds chirp in the background.
However, uncertainty hangs over their relationship. The singer expresses their desire for something more than just being friends but wonders if the love interest feels the same. They convey a sense of floating between being someone special and just a passing phase, acknowledging that their friends wouldn't understand the depth of their connection.
The song captures the bittersweet nature of a relationship that exists within limited boundaries and lacks the commitment or certainty the singer desires. It explores the complex emotions of longing, uncertainty, and the thrill of intimacy within a casual dynamic.
