Cover art for Every Morning lyrics by Sugar Ray

Well here's my idea:

Every morning there's a halo hanging from the corner of my girlfriend's four post bed I know it's not mine but I'll see if I can use it for the weekend or a one night stand

(The halo is her pretending to be innocent despite having cheated on him the night before, and he's considering cheating on her in her very own bed just to get revenge).

Couldn't understand how to work it out Once again as predicted left my broken heart open And you ripped it out Something's got me reeling Stop me from believing Turn me around again Said that we can do it You know I want to do it again

(He doesn't really know how to work it out so he just leaves himself open to get hurt. Something's got him reeling is his GF continuing to somehow bring him back to him even through all the hurt she causes him. Do it could mean get back together work things out or just last, but maybe he's just referring to having sex.)

sugarezay Every morning Every morning when I wake up Shut the door baby, don't say a word She always rights the wrong She always rights She always rights Shut the door baby Shut the door baby

(Again every morning meaning just all the time. She's writing how he's doing something that's wrong yet she's controlling it, and the shut the door baby is the guy she's cheating on him with.)

Every morning there's a heartache hanging from the corner of my girlfriend's four post bed I know it's not mine and I know she thinks she loves me but I can never believe what she's said

(The heartache could be just she's always going with other guys or she feels guilty about cheating on him. She thinks she loves him, but he knows she doesn't and can't believe it 'cause she can't love one guy.)

Something so deceiving when you start believing Turn me around again Said we couldn't do it You know I want to do it again

(It's deceiving that he's convinced into believing her and the more he does, the more deceiving it gets. Again the do it part).

Every morning Every morning when I wake up Shut the door baby, don't say a word Every morning Every morning every morning shut the door baby Shut the door baby

(Same thing, always happens, another guy who she's cheating on him with is talking).

She always rights the wrong For me, baby She always rights the wrong For me

(She puts thoughts into his mind that rationalizes staying with him yet it's wrong).

Every morning there's a halo hanging from the corner of my girlfriend's four post bed I know it's not mine but I'll see if I can use it for the weekend or a one night stand

(Same as before).

Shut the door baby don't say a word Every morning Every morning when I wake up Shut the door baby, don't say a word Every morning

(Again same as before).

(repeat to fade)

It's amazing this discussion has gone on for years unresolved.

YES, the halo is a condom. End of story.

The words "I know it's not mine but I'll see if I can use it for the weekend or a one night stand" do not refer to physical use of the halo, but the mental justification that he knows she cheated and there's proof in the form of this disgusting thing hanging from her bed post. He wants to "use" the halo as an "eye for an eye" justification for him to be able to go and sleep with another girl...

Not Valid
