Then just walk away
We don't have tomorrow
But we had yesterday
(Hey!)
Wasn't it me who said that
Nothing good's gonna last forever?
Let's just be glad for the time together?
It must've been hard to tell me
That you've given all you had to give
I can understand you're feeling that way
Everybody's got their life to live
Well, I can say goodbye in the cold morning light
But I can't watch love die in the warmth of the night
If I've got to be strong
Don't you know I need to have tonight when you're gone?
'Till you go I need to lie here and think about
The last time that you'll touch me in the morning
Then just close the door
Leave me as you found me, empty like before
(Hey!)
Wasn't it yesterday
We used to laugh at the wind behind us?
Didn't we run away and hope
That time wouldn't try to find us (Didn't we run)
Didn't we take each other
To a place where no one's ever been?
Yeah, I really need you near me tonight
'Cause you'll never take me there again
Let me watch you go
With the sun in my eyes
We've seen how love can grow
Now we'll see how it dies
If I've got to be strong
Don't you know I need to have tonight when you're gone?
'Till you go I need to hold you until the time
Your hands reach out and touch me in the morning
(Mornings where blue and gold and we could feel one another living)
Then just walk away
(We walked with a dream to hold and we could take what the world was giving)
We don't have tomorrow,
(There's no tomorrow here, there's only love and the time to chase it)
But we had yesterday
(But yesterday's gone my love, there's only now and it's time to face it)
Touch me in the morning...
The lyrics of Kerris's song "Believe in Me" convey a poignant story of a relationship that has reached its end. The song begins with the lines "Touch me in the morning, then just walk away; We don't have tomorrow, but we had yesterday." These lines paint a vivid picture of two people who are completely in the moment, who are appreciating the time they have with each other, yet who know that this moment is all they have. The next lines affirm this feeling, as the singer remembers that "nothing good's gonna last forever." However, they also show a sense of resignation, as the singer acknowledges that "everybody's got their life to live."
The chorus of the song emphasizes the importance of one last night together, as the singer admits, "If I've got to be strong, don't you know I need to have tonight when you're gone? 'Till you go I need to lie here and think about the last time that you'll touch me in the morning." The emotions conveyed in this chorus are particularly strong, as the singer hints at a deep connection with their partner, and the pain she is feeling at the prospect of their impending separation.
The second verse of the song continues with the theme of lost love, as the singer remembers how once they used to run away from the challenges of life, and just hope that they'd never be found. However, things have changed and the singer now knows that they need to be strong, to watch their love die in the light of day, and to face their new reality without their partner. The song ends with a plea for a final, tender goodbye, as the singer urges their partner to "touch me in the morning."
Overall, "Believe in Me" is a powerful and emotive song, whose lyrics capture the complex emotions of a love that has run its course. The song provides a snapshot of the final moments of a relationship, showing both the beauty of being in the moment and the pain of accepting that those moments are now over.
Line by Line Meaning
Touch me in the morning
Start my day with love
Then just walk away
Leave me without commitment
We don't have tomorrow
Our future is uncertain
But we had yesterday
Memories of our past love
Wasn't it me who said that
I remember saying
Nothing good's gonna last forever?
Positively acknowledging the fragility of happiness
And wasn't it me who said
I also said
Let's just be glad for the time together?
Being grateful for the love shared
It must've been hard to tell me
I can imagine how difficult it was for you to explain
That you've given all you had to give
You've reached your limit in the relationship
I can understand you're feeling that way
I empathize with your decision
Everybody's got their life to live
Everyone is responsible for their own happiness
Well, I can say goodbye in the cold morning light
I can handle saying goodbye during the day
But I can't watch love die in the warmth of the night
I can't bear to see the end of our love at night
If I've got to be strong
If I have to be tough
Don't you know I need to have tonight when you're gone?
I need time to process our separation
'Till you go I need to lie here and think about
Until you leave, I need to lay in bed and contemplate
The last time that you'll touch me in the morning
Reflecting on the last time we'll share morning intimacy
Then just close the door
Leave without any fanfare or emotion
Leave me as you found me, empty like before
Exit and leave me feeling as hollow as when you first came into my life
Wasn't it yesterday
Remember when
We used to laugh at the wind behind us?
We enjoyed life without worry
Didn't we run away and hope
We escaped and prayed
That time wouldn't try to find us (Didn't we run)
That our happiness wouldn't be fleeting
Didn't we take each other
We took hold of each other
To a place where no one's ever been?
We experienced a type of love that was exclusive to us
Yeah, I really need you near me tonight
I'm desperate for your company this night
'Cause you'll never take me there again
This is our last time together like this
Let me watch you go
Let me witness your departure
With the sun in my eyes
I'll watch as you leave with a bright future ahead of you
We've seen how love can grow
We've witnessed our love flourish
Now we'll see how it dies
Now we'll experience our love's painful death
If I've got to be strong
If I have to be stoic
Don't you know I need to have tonight when you're gone?
I need one final night alone to grieve your absence
'Till you go I need to hold you until the time
Until you leave, I need to hold you tight
Your hands reach out and touch me in the morning
Savoring the last morning touches we'll share
(Mornings where blue and gold and we could feel one another living)
Those mornings were peaceful and alive with our energy
Then just walk away
Then leave me
(We walked with a dream to hold and we could take what the world was giving)
We had ambitions to achieve and were willing to take risks
We don't have tomorrow,
We don't know what our future holds
(There's no tomorrow here, there's only love and the time to chase it)
But for now, we have love, and we must enjoy it while we can
But we had yesterday
We have memories of a beautiful past
(But yesterday's gone my love, there's only now and it's time to face it)
But it's time to accept that our time has passed and move on
Touch me in the morning...
A plea for one last touch of love in the morning
