Song Description
We've all had the desire to be intimate with someone, whether it's long-term or just for one precious night. However, while we're usually imagining how we would ideally want an evening to unfold, what about the truth about how things might really manifest? -- the awkwardness, the wavering, the self-consciousness?..." In "The Morning Would," sweetness and innocence collide with the blundering consequences of a wild night of passion...

Lyrics
THE MORNING WOULD
The morning would
Give us a taste of reality.
The morning would
Strip us both of the mystery and all the formality.
The morning would not
Be that simple.
In fact, it would be awfully complicated
And quite sinful.
Reality would magnify,
And I would not achieve the high
That?s only in my fantasies,
And it wouldn?t be what I plan to see.
The night before
Would have to begin
With a glass or two or three or more of wine the shade of pink.
You?d take me to my door,
In hopes that without overdoing it,
We will have had too much to drink. Whoa-oa.
And after all the wine we sipped,
How far would we take on this script?
Would we give up all our power?
Would I run to take a shower?
Do you think we would be self-conscious?
Would you contemplate that goodnight kiss?
I guarantee we?d waver
Before any risqué behavior.
The morning might make you regret,
And start to think you?ve gotten in too deep.
Well, that might not be so bad, :-)
But when the morning came, would I pretend to sleep? Whoa-oa.
Would it be too strange to wake up,
If you saw me without make-up?
Would I sneak another shower in,
So we can reenact our sins?
Maybe for the moment, our impulses would be gratified,
But would the sights that you hold when you think of me be rectified?
Tell me about the consequences that might follow,
For the morning would be hard
For me to swallow.
And if I did pretend to sleep,
I hope that that would be the only thing I had to fake.
For all I know,
You might not be there when I do decide to wake. Whoa-oa
Well, if you did decide to leave,
Just maybe I would feel relieved.
Tell me, do you think we'd still feel good
When we saw just what the morning would--
Do to us?
The morning would
Give me a taste
Of you.
