about

A very Travis feel on this recording, which is fine; a lot of their songs have the feel of throwing open the windows and letting the air in to freshen up the room, which is what the main character is feeling at this stage;realising their mistakes and deciding to head back to the the one person that kept them safe and honest; realising that they can't do this alone and needing to get back to the sunlight.

lyrics

You’re a morning sun, you fade in from
The day before that wore me down into nothing,
You bring me awake.
And as I fade from gloom in your sun blessed room
As the light invades it takes me far from this dark,
And inner space.

‘Cause when the morning comes, it’s all undone,
You’re the fresh start I was promised.
I’ll take it all as read, and if the truth be said,
It’s this that keeps me honest;
That if it’s down to fate to wipe my slate,
I wouldn’t keep a word still on it,
I didn’t mean or didn’t say.

If it all falls, sweeps out all before
In this life,
There’s nothing else I’d choose but to stay with you
In this life,
Day on day.

When the hours all end, no time to spend,
Then you my friend and I should stroll together,
And see it fade.
Until then let’s mend the tears and rends,
Let’s make amends for all the time we never
Had behind.

‘Cause when it’s said and done, you’re the only one,
That sees it as I’m hearing.
And when you tell it true, it’s like I always knew
That my only fear was fearing.
So if you tell me loud and tell me proud
Your words I’ll hear as written,
Clear on my slate.

If it all falls, sweeps out all before
In this life,
There’s nothing else I’d choose but to stay with you
In this life,
Day on day.

Day by day we fade away,
We never stay, so this I say;
I pray today, you’ll find a way
To make it through with me all the way.

‘Cause when the morning comes, it’s all undone,
You’re the fresh start I was promised.
I’ll take it all as read, and if the truth be said,
It’s this that keeps me honest;
That if it’s down to fate to wipe my slate,
I wouldn’t keep a word still on it,
I didn’t mean or didn’t say.

If it all falls, sweeps out all before
In this life,
There’s nothing else I’d choose but to stay with you
In this life,
Day on day.
