Lyrics
This morning, I'll hit the snooze a dozen times
Try to rise and try to shine
Pull the sunlight through the blinds
Paint the wall with yellow lines
This morning
This morning, I'll make a pot that's freshly brewed
Mistake a breakfast bar for food
Give the dog a biscuit, too
We'll stand awhile and chew our food
This morning, this morning
And all the while I'll talk to you, talk as if you're there
And all the while I'll try to pull your voice from the air
If you had stayed, we could've played
We could've laid in bed this morning
So I will let the shower cry for me
Dress up like a Christmas tree
Check off the list, 1-2-3
I'm stronger than the sky and sea
This morning
This morning, I will open up your closet doors
Comb through all your dresser drawers
The undertaker underscored
He wants to dress you well
This morning
But for now I smell you in the shirt that's in my hands
And I know where we'd be right now if you had changed your plans
If you had stayed, we could've played
We could've laid in bed this morning
Every particle of air, every fiber, every thread
Every feather in your pillow holds a thought I should have said
If you had stayed, we could've played
We could've laid in bed this morning
This morning
We could've laid in bed
