about

This song began as a songwriting exercise for a course I was studying. As i got deeper into the vinyl record metaphor the lyrics that emerged are some that I'm most proud of.

lyrics

And in the morning I
Won't rise with dawn
Cause in the morning it's cold outside and I'm far too lazy to get up out of this warm bed

And as the sun makes it
Way across the sky
I can breathe the summer air
And walk next to you, trying to make sense of the elusive melodies in my brain

I wake up
I look through the covers
And take the best ones from their sleeve
The sun on the window means that it's morning and right before you leave

My fingers trace your back like a needle in a groove of a record that's cranked up and playing my favourite tunes

And in the evening I
Won't rest with the dusk
Cause in the evening I
want to read the liner notes, so I can sing along to all those words he wrote

And in the nighttime I
Won't lay my head to rest
Cause in the night time I
I've had too to think and my thoughts overpopulate my head but I'm content

I wake up
I look through the covers
And take the best ones from their sleeve
Sun on the window means that it's morning
And right before you leave

My fingers trace your back like a needle in a groove of a record that's cranked up and playing my favourite tunes
And my mind chases sketches of the phrases I scratched out, while I was sleeping and dreaming up lines to go with progressions that one day come together on a record all for you.
