Morning Light
Rachel Goodrich Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wasn't feeling low, I wasn't feeling high
Baby, kept me up all night, he kept me up all night
And I gotta get going, I gotta get going
I gotta get going before the morning light

I wasn't up for games of who's wrong or right
Baby made me put up a fight, he kept me up all night
And I gotta get going, I gotta get going
I gotta get going before the morning light

Before the morning light
I gotta wrap up my things and I'm ready to leave tonight
Oh, tonight
I gotta wrap things up and I'm ready to go

And it seems to me, honey, you just need
Something to hold on to, maybe something to believe
And it's been too many times you've been telling me
I broke your heart

You rub it in my face and get beneath my bones
I don't got no regrets, oh, well, I'm hanging alone
And I gotta get going, I gotta get going
I gotta get going back on to my home

You got a ways to go 'til I can call you a friend
I got a feeling I know that you ain't my man
Well, I gotta get going, I gotta get going
I gotta get going before the morning light

Before the morning light
I gotta wrap up my things and I'm ready to leave tonight
Whoa, tonight
I gotta wrap things up and I'm ready to go

And it seems to me, honey, you just need
Something to hold on to, maybe something to believe




And it's been too many times you've been telling me
I broke your heart, oh, I broke your heart

I wasn't feeling low, I wasn't feeling high
Baby, kept me up all night, he kept me up all night
And I gotta get going, I gotta get going
I gotta get going before the morning light

I wasn't up for games of who's wrong or right
Baby made me put up a fight, he kept me up all night
And I gotta get going, I gotta get going
I gotta get going before the morning light

Before the morning light
I gotta wrap up my things and I'm ready to leave tonight
Oh, tonight
I gotta wrap things up and I'm ready to go

And it seems to me, honey, you just need
Something to hold on to, maybe something to believe
And it's been too many times you've been telling me
I broke your heart

You rub it in my face and get beneath my bones
I don't got no regrets, oh, well, I'm hanging alone
And I gotta get going, I gotta get going
I gotta get going back on to my home

You got a ways to go 'til I can call you a friend

Well, I gotta get going, I gotta get going
I gotta get going before the morning light

Before the morning light
I gotta wrap up my things and I'm ready to leave tonight
Whoa, tonight
I gotta wrap things up and I'm ready to go

And it seems to me, honey, you just need
Something to hold on to, maybe something to believe
And it's been too many times you've been telling me
I broke your heart, oh, I broke your heart
