It's been awhile since I've shared anything here.
Morning After
I wake up, stand up I guess I went and grew up Now I don’t love the world as much It’s quite a mess Spins crooked on its axis at best But it can be okay it’s been happening for years I’ve got to make a change can’t clean it with my tears I do see you and wait for each morning after Make an exception, let me in Maybe we’ll write a new chapter Before the world comes to an end
You decide what you want Maybe let me be the first to know I would like to see it each morning at its best Under the stars with a good night’s rest It’ll either work or it won’t You’ve got to try to know if it don’t In this world I’m sure as hell You’ll need more than me for what’s going around I’m waiting for you to tell Say I’m the one to keep you above ground
Yeah, cause silence between us isn’t the way It’s the loudest thing I’ll hear all my days It’s to love or be loved that may be our saving grace I don’t need to say it when it’s on my face It’s not much better than a love note With it’s colors, hearts, and paste Too sentimental and it becomes a joke
But I know each morning after I wake up, stand up I guess I went and grew up Now I don’t love the world as much It’s quite a mess Spins crooked on its axis at best
Yeah, it’s sandpaper and silk Guess these things are built to spill Out of me onto the paper Maybe they won’t go to waste, yeah

We’ll find out the morning after Think we’ll find our morning after

That whole last section is really great...i wasn't over keen on some of the rhymes near the ends of the verses, but those opening lines and the way they were repeated at the end definitely over shadowed that. Nice work!

I absolutely love this. It's so clever, and so true.
