In the Morning
Razorlight Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know what I'm doing wrong
Maybe I've been here too long
The songs on the radio sound the same
Everybody just looks the same

But then last night was so much fun
And now your sheets are dirty
The streets are dirty too but
You never look back over what you've done

Remember when you were young
You'd lose yourself
In the morning, you know you won't remember a thing
In the morning, you know it's gonna be alright

Wake him up, warm him up
Put him on the stage, well
The boy can't help it, it's not his fault
Just a dangerous, dangerous age

But then every night's still so much fun
And you're still out there darling
Clinging on to the wrong ideas but
I never regret anything I've done

Remember when you were young
You'd lose yourself
In the morning you know he won't remember a thing
In the morning you know it's gonna be alright

In the morning, you know he won't remember a thing
In the morning, you know it's gonna be all

In the morning, you know he won't remember a thing
In the morning, you know it's gonna be all
In the morning, you know he won't remember a thing
In the morning, you know it's gonna be alright

Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?

Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?

Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?




Are you really gonna do it this time?
In the morning, you know you won't remember a thing

Line by Line Meaning

I don't know what I'm doing wrong
I am unsure of what mistake I am making


Maybe I've been here too long
Perhaps I have overextended my stay


The songs on the radio sound the same
The melodies on the radio share identical similarity


Everybody just looks the same
All individuals appear identical to one another


But then last night was so much fun
However, the previous evening was exceptionally enjoyable


And now your sheets are dirty
Bed linens have become stained with various substances


The streets are dirty too but
The pathway paths are also disheveled, but


You never look back over what you've done
You refuse to reflect on past actions


Remember when you were young
Recall the time when you were youthful


You'd lose yourself
You would often become lost


In the morning, you know you won't remember a thing
By dawn, the memories of the night before will have disappeared


In the morning, you know it's gonna be alright
The morning after will be okay


Wake him up, warm him up
Wake him from slumber, appease him


Put him on the stage, well
Position him on the platform, well


The boy can't help it, it's not his fault
The child cannot assist it, it is not their discredit


Just a dangerous, dangerous age
On the brink of transition toward adulthood, a potentially hazardous condition


But then every night's still so much fun
Nevertheless, each evening is still quite enjoyable


And you're still out there darling
You are still out there, my dear


Clinging on to the wrong ideas but
Clutching to the incorrect ideologies (however)


I never regret anything I've done
I am devoid of any remorse for my actions


Are you really gonna do it this time?
Will you genuinely execute it this time?


In the morning, you know you won't remember a thing
By dawn, the memories of the night before will have disappeared

No sé lo que estoy haciendo mal 
Tal vez he estado aquí demasiado tiempo 
Las canciones en la radio suenan igual
Todo el mundo solamente se ve igual
Pero entonces anoche fue tan divertido 
Y ahora tus sabanas están sucias 
Las calles están sucias también pero
Nunca miraste hacia atrás sobre lo que has hecho 
Recuerda cuando eras joven 
Solías perderte (o "Solías soltarte/ser suelta")
Por la mañana, sabes que no recordaras nada 
Por la mañana, sabes que va a estar todo bien 

Despertarlo, darle carlo 
Ponerlo en el escenario, bueno
el niño no puede evitarlo, no es su culpa 
Sólo una cosa peligrosa peligrosa (o "muy peligrosa")
Pero entonces, cada noche sigue siendo tan divertida 
Y todavía estás por ahí afuera querida 
Aferrándote a las ideas equivocadas, pero 
Nunca me arrepiento de nada de lo que he hecho 

Recuerda cuando usted eras joven 
Solías perderte (o "Solías soltarte/ser suelta")
Por la mañana, sabes que el no recordará nada 
Por la mañana, sabes que va a estar todo bien 

Por la mañana, sabes que el no recordará nada 
Por la mañana, sabes que va a estar todo...
Por la mañana, sabes que el no recordará nada 
Por la mañana, sabes que va a estar todo...
Por la mañana, sabes que el no recordará nada 
Por la mañana, sabes que va a estar todo bien

Realmente vas a hacerlo esta vez?
Realmente vas a hacerlo esta vez?
Realmente vas a hacerlo esta vez?
Realmente vas a hacerlo esta vez?
X2

Tenes que hacerlo esta vez
Realmente vas a hacerlo esta vez o qué?
Realmente vas a hacerlo esta vez? Yeah!
Realmente vas a hacer qué?

Por la mañana, sabes que el no recordará nada
No, ni una cosa y
Por la mañana, sabes que el no recordará nada

Dude. Same

conorefc86

Very underrated band.

Gary Thomson

Dose of nostalgia from every song from this era

Samuel Powell

this song brings back so many happy memories in high school with my friend, time seemed simpler and the music on the radio were tunes like this with artists that actually played instruments, miss those indie days, I wanna throw one of my friends some love as he's always been there for me, if a music producer now and heavily influenced by our high school indie days, try searching Lonely Gimmick - Grumpy Days, despite the name its a very happy indie track, its honestly such a great tune well worth a listen!
