Goodmorning (MTV Unplugged) Songtext
von Bleachers

You know when you wake up
And right before you′re actually awake
When there's like a split second where you′re not like
Bombarded by the weight of everything?
You know what I mean?
It's like, as right as you wake up
It's like everything is beautiful and then ′vush′
You know? And you, remember, you remember
Specific things like this is due, this person is mad at me
All these things, but you also remember those
Deep, guttural, weighty things
And there's that moment right before
And uh, this song is, is written from that perspective so
Uh, it was written as the first song in the album but then I wanted to have
One that was sort of from a dream first so
This song is called Goodmorning


I woke up I′m in the in between honey
One foot out and I know the weight is coming
Because I left it by the bed last night
I open my eyes and I stare and pray for light
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

Good morning to the cops
And good morning to my upstairs neighbor
And to the kids at 42
Anyone who lent me a favor
I wish that I could stop (Oh)
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 saying 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 weight to live under
What a lie that's been covered
I'm 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

Good morning to the cop
And good morning to my upstairs neighbor
And to the kids at 42
Anyone who lent me a favor
I wish that I could stop (Oh)
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
Alright
