Then Came the Morning Lyrics
Then came the morning
It was bright like the light that you kept from your smile
Then came the morning
Like the flood from your storm that you kept from my heart
Take the dawn with you when you leave
Wash my hands of all this broken need
Never forget what you thought you'd never be
If you ever let me break the spell of trying
Leaving what we couldn't find in
Take my words, breathe them out like smoke
Burn every single letter that I wrote
Let the pages turn to ash, I don't want them back
Everything you always said to me
Starts to sound like broken glass on streets
Spread it out all over places where I sleep
Now you finally left me, done with all your lying
Joy comes in the morning, you won't see me crying
Then came the morning
It was lost when you left, when you took what I felt
Then came the morning
Then came the morning
When the sun breaks the cold, run towards the light I thought you stole
Start to feel what I felt way before
You broke down my front door, wiped my heart up off the wooden floor
Now I don't need your smile anymore
Then came the morning
Then came the morning
It was bright like the light that you kept from your smile
Then came the morning
Like the flood from your storm that you kept from my heart
Wash my hands of all this broken need
Never forget what you thought you'd never be
If you ever let me break the spell of trying
Leaving what we couldn't find in
Burn every single letter that I wrote
Let the pages turn to ash, I don't want them back
Everything you always said to me
Starts to sound like broken glass on streets
Spread it out all over places where I sleep
Joy comes in the morning, you won't see me crying
It was lost when you left, when you took what I felt
Then came the morning
Then came the morning
Start to feel what I felt way before
You broke down my front door, wiped my heart up off the wooden floor
Now I don't need your smile anymore
Then came the morning

First and foremost - this band is the real deal. They're even better live than CD. I've seen them in little hole in the wall bars and at a festival - and BOTH times the blend of their voices hit somewhere deep inside you. You get the instant chills. The musicianship is on point every time. They love what they do and it makes you love watching them.
On to song interpretation. They're that good of a band that this song could mean multiple things to multiple people. The most common thing is love - a broken relationship that ended. It could be just a relationship in general - parent, friend, or love.
The singer went through a relationship or a period of time that was obviously rough. The person on the other end of the relationship took a lot out of him. This is his way of saying that when that person left - everything got better. 'Then came the morning' is the perfect title.
Without talking in circles I think this song is a poetic way of giving a big ol' middle finger to the other person in a relationship that ended. In the beginning, it's everything they robbed him/her of and by the end it's that they're fine and better off without them.
"When the sun breaks the cold, run towards the light I thought you stole. Start to feel what I felt way before you broke down my front door, wiped my heart up off the wooden floor. Now I don't need your smile anymore"
That's a giant I don't need you anymore and despite all the crap you put me through - because with the morning, comes a new days - a day without you, a better day.
