In The Morning

Just wake up in the morning with me.

Let's talk about what we were chasing in our dreams.

I remember mine was warming, had you with me.

Let's spend the day embracing those extremes.

I like, to see you roll over and face me.

You like, soft pillows and pastries. 

Hope I can be sweet enough for you,

Because theres no sweeter thing, it's true.

Please don't get up and ruin my view,

But you gotta make breakfast, reaching the dreams that you grew.

All I can do, is smile as I fall back down.

This part is where you leave and I crawl back uptown.

I go to grab my things, with little sins of doubt.

Will this be the end of us?

I keep thinking an amount.

Did I give you the time you deserve, or will you explore your worth?

Leaving your bed is a curse, never knowing if there’s a cure.
