Good Morning
Semisonic feat. Bic Runga Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Between an overload of information
And a striving for a pure dedication I
Find myself looking for the exit sign
See your pretty face in the sunshine
In the morning after staying up all night I
Want to wake you just to hear you
Tell me it's alright
And all I want to be is too much
Sometimes for me
Good morning baby
I hope I'm gonna make it through another day
Good morning baby
I hope I'm gonna make it through another day
See the stars and all the planets
Fly the great wide world and have it all
Yeah better get a ticket better get in line
I'm praying now for beautiful weather
Take a car and drive forever but I'm
Only ever sitting at the traffic light
And all the world to see is too much
Sometimes for me
Good morning baby
I hope I'm gonna make it through another day
Good morning baby
I hope we're gonna make it through another day
(And when you rise)
And when you rise you'll find me here
(Open your eyes)
And see myself reflected there




(And for awhile)
A little room becomes an everywhere

I used to live in Oregon, and often in the morning before work would have a smoke, drink my coffee, and listen to this. It was how I felt, being in a bad relationship. there was a fellow in the unit across from mine who was in the same situation. we talked a little, I got him into Bic Runga and we listened to this. Then one day he committed suicide. This always makes me think of him. I wish I could have talked to him before he did it, and let him know if he could have waited for the sun to rise another day he would have seen there is always hope.

 Sorry, next time I'll be sure to poll all the narcissist fans of a song before someone I somewhat know decides to kill themselves and let me associate their tragic death with it. I am truly sorry for any inconvenience.

+Mistress Morrigan I hope you have some beautiful memories.
