I wrote this song about an old friendship, evoking imagery of the morning light breaking through just as the truth always does. I am the morning is about allowing yourself to grieve the loss of a person who hurt you.
lyrics
verse
we've come a long way
haven't we, friend?
we knew that we would change
but not to this extent
pre
and you were just a boy
of only thirteen
and close as the earth
as soft as the sea
and you were just a boy
of only thirteen
chorus
i am the light
you are my shadow
kiss her goodnight
but i am the morning
you said that you would break
before you bent
but i am the morning
i will break through you
verse
you sent your front line
but this was never war
what is a friend
who's adamant on little more
pre
and you were just a boy
of only seventeen
i don't know what you
could have expected from me
and you just a boy
of only seventeen
chorus
i am the light
you are my shadow
kiss her goodnight
but i am the morning
you said that you would break
before you bent
but i am the morning
i will break through you
outro
i am the light
you are my shadow
you say goodbye
but say it ain't so
you said that you would break
but you bent
i am the morning
i will break you
i am the morning
i will break through you
