Till the Morning
The Bahamas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lead me on, lead me on
Right now I just need something
You could be that one thing
So lead me on

Take me home, take me home
I'll be yours till the morning
Then leave without warning
So take me home

Call me please, call me please
I'll can't wait forever
You know better
So call me please

Leave me be, leave me be
You had your chance already




Someone else, I go steady
So leave me be

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Bahamas's song Till The Morning seem to depict an individual in a state of desperation, seeking someone or something to fill a void in their life. The repeated entreaties to "lead me on," "take me home," and "call me please" suggest a desire for companionship and connection, regardless of the potential consequences - "then leave without warning" (after spending the night), or even acknowledging that the person they're talking to may have had a previous opportunity to pursue a relationship ("you had your chance already").


However, by the end of the song, the singer seems to have moved on, stating that they now have "someone else" they are seeing. It is unclear if this was a deliberate choice, or if they simply settled for another option after being led on and subsequently disappointed. The song paints a picture of someone in a state of emotional limbo, perhaps struggling to find or maintain meaningful connections with others.


Overall, the lyrics to Till The Morning are evocative and relatable for anyone who has experienced intense feelings of loneliness or desire for connection. They capture the longing and desperation that can drive people to make choices that may not ultimately be in their best interest, but that feel necessary in the moment.
