Better in the Morning Light — Jonah Rivers

Verse

Kitchen radio humming something slow

You're barefoot on the counter, paint still on your toe

Spilled some sugar laughing at a joke gone wrong

Golden hour catches you like the end of a song

Pre-Chorus

And I don't know when it started

This feeling climbing up my chest

Maybe it's the coffee, maybe it's just you

But I think I like this best

Chorus

Everything's better in the morning light

Your hair's a mess and your eyes are bright

I could stay right here and lose all track of time

Watching the sun come up on your side

Everything's better in the morning light

Verse

Sunday sheets tangled, window open wide

Bird outside singing like he's on our side

You steal the last biscuit, blame it on the cat

Twelve years I could laugh at something dumb like that

Pre-Chorus

And I don't know when it started

This feeling climbing up my chest

Maybe it's the coffee, maybe it's just you

But I think I like this best

Chorus

Everything's better in the morning light

Your hair's a mess and your eyes are bright

I could stay right here and lose all track of time

Watching the sun come up on your side

Everything's better in the morning light

Bridge

Used to chase the nighttime, thought that's where the magic hides

Now I'm finding heaven in the daylight in your eyes

Simple things like toast and jam and how you hum off key

Turns out all I needed was this quiet company

Chorus

Everything's better in the morning light

Your hair's a mess and your eyes are bright

I could stay right here and lose all track of time

Watching the sun come up on your side

Everything's better, everything's better

Everything's better in the morning light
