Better in the Morning Light

Verse

Suitcase by the doorway, porch light on the fritz

Your coffee mug still warm from where you left your grip

Six a.m. and quiet, the taxi's pulling round

We're saying all our goodbyes without a single sound

Pre-Chorus

So what if the driveway's dark

What if my hands still shake

Somewhere past this heavy start

Chorus

It's better in the morning light

When the gray turns gold and the stars lose the fight

We'll leave the shadows on the ground tonight

'Cause everything's better in the morning light

Verse

Two years of this address now boxed up in the hall

Your name still on the mailbox, but you're already gone

I'll water your tomatoes, keep the porch swing tied

Just trust the sun comes up on the other side

Pre-Chorus

So what if the highway's long

What if I lose the map

There's a chorus waiting on

Chorus

It's better in the morning light

When the gray turns gold and the stars lose the fight

We'll leave the shadows on the ground tonight

'Cause everything's better in the morning light

Bridge

Maybe this ache is just a doorway

Maybe the ending's just a start

I'll count the miles like they're a hallway

Leading me back to where you are

Chorus

It's better in the morning light

When the gray turns gold and the stars lose the fight

We'll leave the shadows on the ground tonight

'Cause everything's better in the morning light

Everything's better in the morning light
