Tell Me in the Morning

This song is clearly a break up song. "Tell me in the morning" comes from the common advice "sleep on it" or "it will all be better in the morning". She brings up problems in their relationship that they both recognize (And I'll tell you one more thing; I confess to self deception; Broke the lock and pried it open; Then pretend to be stolen; I am my own thief in the night; Struggled for many years, just to get here; To learn humility, and be my own teacher I guess it backfired, 'cause my motive was just to take and never care 'bout what I give) but they just fight & yell at each other and end of breaking up. He still cares about her though and wishes that she could have waited to talk about things in the morning, operating under the belief that things would have turned out differently.

I think it's the normal signs of regret and the desire to change the outcome of prior events that one feels after a break up.

I'm having a hard time figuring this one out. But I do believe he's "shouting questions like a FIST FIGHT", not a "fierce fire".

Yeah these lyrics are wrong in many other places as well. I'll work on a meaning and maybe some better lyrics when i can figure them out.

I think it's "stick around" rather than "speak about" an "turn on your melody" and not "between the humility"

stick around Greenly(?) now that she's gone take my time when I go to bed and I sleep long I'm getting over mullin' over I said could you just wait to tell me in the morning?

slow it down slow it down and lay it low save it for the morning

I know that you would like like to change me make me softer to your voice like a baby I'm using caution but you want it I wish you could wait to tell me in the morning

slow it down slow it down and lay it low save it for the morning

I shouted questions like a fist fight you tried to take me by the arms lead me to the light I'm almost over worrying over I wish that you could wait to tell me in the morning

slow it down slow it down lay it low save it for the morning

and I'll tell you one more thing I confess to self deception and ill pull the lock and pry I'll it open(?) they're pretending to be stolen I am my own thief in the night

struggled for many years just to get here to learn humility and be my own teacher i guess it backfired cause my motive was just to take and never care 'bout what i give

slow it down slow it down lay it low save it for the morning

I shouted questions like a fist fight you tried to take me by the arms lead me to the light I'm almost over worrying over I wish that you could wait to tell me in the morning

slow it down slow it down and lay it low save it for the morning

and I'll tell you one more thing I confess to self deception and i broke the lock and i pried it open they're pretending to be stolen and I am my own thief in the night

Stick around Greenleaf, now that she's gone Take my time when I go to bed, and I sleep long I'm getting over, mulling over I said "can't you just wait to tell me in the morning?"

Slow it down Slow it down Laying low Save it for the morning

I know that you would like, like to change me Make me softer to your voice like a baby I'm using caution, bet you're warning I wish you could wait to tell me in the morning

Slow it down Slow it down Lay it low Save it for the morning

I'm shouting questions, like a fist fight You tried to take me by the arm into the light I'm almost over, warring over I said "could you just wait to tell me in the morning?"

Slow it down Slow it down Lay it low Save it for the morning

And I'll tell you one more thing I confess to self deception Broke the lock and pried it open Then pretend to be stolen I am my own thief in the night

Struggled for many years, just to get here To learn humility, and be my own teacher I guess it backfired, 'cause my motive was just to take and never care 'bout what I give

Slow it down Slow it down Lay it low Save it for the morning

I'm shouting questions like a fist fight you tried to take me by the arm into the light I'm almost over warring over I said "could you just wait to tell me in the morning?"

Slow it down Slow it down Lay it low Save it for the moring

And I'll tell you one more thing I confess to self deception Broke the lock and pried it open Then pretend to be stolen I am my own thief in the night

I agree with amb7s. Smart thinking, that was a tough one.

I really think this is a song being sung to God. CWK are a band with Christian roots, and the lyrics really seem to be coming from someone young in their faith. For many of us (myself included), we feel the impact of God's Word (all of it - the scary stuff along with the pleasant stuff) and feel we need time (or sleep) to process it. Sometimes it's laziness, sometimes we just want His patience.

Fantastic song.

...fantastic if that's the interpretation, that is.....
