lyrics

so you’re still here in the morning
and I’m not really sure what to do with that
see, this is usually the part when they grab their shoes,
their coat, their hat

But the minutes keep on ticking
I’m tryin not to watch you as you sleep
I'm tryin not to fall too hard
for something that time won’t let me keep

You see it’s hard for me to settle in
when things start feelin right, see I spend my days
pickin up questions makin up answers
just so that I can close my eyes at night

See, I’ve been spending 25 years telling myself little white lies
just to get me through the day
and I have been slowly perfecting
the art of never giving myself away

But you’re still here in the morning

and you are nestled in my sheets
and i've been keepin those old words from slipping out
been tryin not to make a peep

Yes you’re still here In the morning
and my driveway holds your car
and I’m tryin not to make plans for breakfast
I'm tryin not to let it go too far

See I have this nasty habit of living in the future and
makin up stories in my mind
But with each story that I’ve written
I've never gotten the ending right

And so I’ve learned to count my blessings,
learned to keep things to myself
I learned not to gamble
I learned to hold my cards right up to my chest

But You’re still here in the morning
and my thoughts are slowing down
And I’m tryin not to notice
how I prefer when you’re around

Yes I’m tryin not notice
how my mind is feeling still
but trying not to notice is a fools errand
See, my mind has never been one to bend to my own will
No, my mind has never been one to bend to my own will

So you’re still here in the morning
And I’m not really sure what to do with that
See, this is usually the part when they grab their shoes,
their coat, their hat
