You Are the Morning

You are the morning, you make the grass grow
You are the hawthorn tangled in dog-rose
The open window with the curtains closed
Hearing your pulse between your breaths
Hearing the trees when the wind blows

I dreamed our lips touched for the first time
Pressing yours hard down into mine
What a joy to wake in the morning light
Just a friend who stayed the night

You are the morning, you make the grass grow
You are the hawthorn tangled in dog-rose
The open window with the curtains closed
Hearing your pulse between your breaths
Hearing the trees when the wind blows

You deserve much better
You deserve much better than what he gave you
Wish I could've saved you
Not the time for you and me
Maybe you don't want a girl like me
I just wanna be around, make you feel okay

You deserve much better
You deserve much better than what she gave you
Until she came through
Now I need to look at me
Maybe you might want a girl like me
And you still want me around, you make me feel okay

Now my time here has been and done
Just know I'm glad I've been the one
To hold you through the darkest night
To see you in the morning light, oh

If I stay, if just for one more year
To place your hair behind your ear
To stroke your wrist from left to right
As you hold me in
