Good Morning
Norah Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My thoughts on leaving are back on the table
I thought you should know
And maybe powerful actions
Or powerful feelings
Will keep me from going
I’m folding my hand, hand
Good morning
Why did you do it?
I couldn't sleep
I knew you were gone
Our loving is all I was after
But you couldn't give it
So I'm moving on
I'm folding my hand, hand
I'm folding my hand, hand
Norah Jones's song "Good Morning" is a somber yet reflective piece that deals with the internal struggle of a person who is contemplating leaving a relationship. The song opens with the singer's thoughts on leaving being back on the table after, presumably, some time of indecision. The phrase "powerful actions or powerful feelings will keep me from going" implies that something significant would have to occur to change the singer's decision, whether it be a grand gesture from their partner or a sudden realization of their feelings. However, the singer seems unsure of their decision and expresses a level of vulnerability, represented by the repetition of "I'm folding my hand, hand" – a phrase that could be interpreted as a metaphor for folding in the face of emotional turmoil.
In the second half of the song, the singer addresses their partner directly, questioning why they did whatever it is that caused the singer such distress. The singer laments the loss of a love they were deeply invested in, but ultimately acknowledges that their partner was unable to reciprocate those feelings, indicating a sense of resignation. The final repetition of "I'm folding my hand, hand" feels more resolved, as if the singer has made up their mind and accepted the situation. Overall, the song conveys a sense of struggle and heartache, but also resilience and self-reflection.
