Each Morning After

Written by Bootsauce, from Bootsauce, 1995



(Sample A: Ten...nine...eight...seven...six...five...four...three...two...one...zero!)

You know I tried, I've lied,
I've bitched and denied
And if I'm gonna get to heaven
I better learn how to fly
Since you've gone I've known
There's no one who comes home
There's not a second I remember,
Girl, I wished you were gone

Each morning after's
Another night's disaster
Each morning after
Try to keep my head from ringing
Each morning after's
A dozen morning-afters
Try to remember
Try to keep myself from thinking

Can't sit at home, alone
I'm slow to discover
Don't say you are my friend,
We barely know each other
She flew, we're through
So buy me another
'Cause misery likes company,
Yeah you make me sober
It's daylight, that's right
I'm under your cover
I wanna make it home,
The sidewalk's leading me somewhere
I guess it's true, I'm proof
I'm under your table
You know I won't forget you, girl
If me, I, remember

Each morning after's
Another night's disaster
Each morning after
Try to keep my head from ringing
Each morning after's
A dozen morning-afters
Try to remember
Try to keep myself from thinking

You know I've cried, I've lied,
I've bitched and connived
And if I'm gonna get to heaven
I better learn how to fly
Since you've gone I've known
There's no one who comes home
There's not a second I remember,
Girl, I wished you were gone

Each morning after's
Another night's disaster
Each morning after
Try to keep my head from ringing
Each morning after's
A dozen morning-afters
Try to remember
Try to keep myself from drinking (x 2)

(Sample A)

Each...morning...after...
(x 3)


Notes:

  • This song is about having to deal with a drinking problem post-breakup.
  • Sample A seems to come from a missile or shuttle launch.
