The Morning Sad

Wake up and talk to me
it's a long time since last night
I know we said things
the saddest things
and I'm not sure it was wise

But when the morning's sad
you don't look back
though you sure don't look ahead
the morning sad
you know the morning sad
the morning sad never had it so bad, never had it so bad

I'm writing desperate songs
while you're fast asleep inside
I could try to sing
until it rings
but my voice comes out uptight

Cause when the morning's sad
you don't relax
no you cannot clear your mind
the morning sad
you know the morning sad
the morning sad never had it so bad, never had it so bad

I tried a little I tried a lot
I'm not a window
and you've seen through everything I've got
I don't think
that I'll be safe until everyone's awake
everybody, everybody, everybody yeah...

So wake up and talk to me
such a long time since last night
I know we said things
the maddest things
and I'm not sure who was right

See when the morning's sad
you don't attack
cause you're much too weak to fight
the morning sad
you know the morning sad
the morning sad never had it so bad, never had it so bad
