You know when you wake up, and right before you're actually awake, when there's like that split second where you're not like bombarded by the weight of everything? You know what I mean? It's like right as you wake up, it's like everything's beautiful, and then... You know, and you remember... You remember specific things, like this is due, this person's mad at me, all these things, but you also remember like those deep, guttural, weighty things. And there's that moment right before, and this song is written from that perspective, so... It was written as the first song on the album, but then I wanted to have one that was sort of from a dream first, so... This song is called Good Morning. Because I left it by the bed last night I open my eyes and I stare and pray for light There's always one foot out when you say goodbye to the one that you love One dream away from the ones above That's such a rhythm in my life these days So I hold on tight, and I learn to behave Because I lied to you, I lied to you I lied to your face in the summer You had long hair then Look out because I'm coming back from the dead It's good morning to the cops And good morning to my upstairs neighbor And to the kids at 42 It's anyone who lent me a favor I wish that I could stop Well, now I wish that I could live a little safer I'm watching all of my nights go blue Somebody lend me a favor soon I woke up in the corner store, someone was singing my name Everybody moving around, acting like nothing had changed But something had changed in me Yeah, she touched me, said, I know you're not to blame What a way to live under, what a lie that's been covered Talking about rolling thunder I left you on the street last night So I'm holding on, grabbing at a light Because I lied to you, I lied to you I lied to your face in the summer I had my hair short then Look out because I'm coming back from the dead It's good morning to the cops And good morning to my upstairs neighbor And to the kids at 42 It's anyone who lent me a favor I wish that I could stop Well, now I wish that I could live a little safer I'm watching all of my nights go blue Somebody lend me a favor soon I know it's always been you So I gotta get home soon Still I'm looking for you I know it's always been you And I just gotta get home soon
